Sub8 Ultimate

Pretty much sums it up and how I read it the sub 8 less some bits for more cash
just read this http://www.seatcupra.net/wp/index.php/2015/02/09/seat-launches-its-fastest-ever-production-car/
Now I can understand why some people will pay £2.5k for different alloys, side skirts, bigger brakes and decent tyres from the dealer as some people are uninclined to diverge from OEM, but most of us would just take that £2.5k and go to VWR.
But who in their right mind is going to pay another 4k for no a/c, 4 less speakers, no armrest, no rear air vents and no under seat storage. Why don't I just buy the sub8 normal pack and rip them out myself, id probably get £500 for the parts!?

'Built to order' is the key line here I think.
They know no-one in their right mind will order one, but to be able to claim the 'ring time they need to offer the car for sale.

The resale value would be appalling I think. Wonder how many kg's it's lighter, agree it's priced in a we don't really want to sell any way, at least there is an option for it
Due to it being lighter the MPG might be better......
Without a/c think of all the extra power the lights will have, no more candle in the wind!
Tbh depreciation might be the best thing its got going for it but time will tell, should certainly hold better than normal cupras anyway
Our Cupra was 'built to order ' . We ordered it, Manuel built it. Simples. and I think it has AC, just poverty spec peasant manual not super duper climate control. Must save all of , ooooh , 3 grammes. Perhaps it'll also come with a 'No fat chicks' sticker. Or even 'no chubby drivers'. Or , have a poo before driving.

Before i make a joke about it coming with a hose-eh... Are you saying climate control is an optional extra...?
In the write up it says 'climate control is replaced with a simpler heating system' I've probably misunderstood. Its probably not air con but a brazier..... Or perhaps the radiator has been moved inside for 'perfect weight balance'....
