World debut from SEAT this week...

Simply stunning looking car. If I didn't need the space and wouldn't miss the power I'd be looking to trade the Cupra in for one of these bad boys. Just think what the next generation Leon Cupra/R will look like.

I notice that the rear badging is different in your press shots to the one here

The shots on this site show the "Bocanegra" badge on the back in black wheree it looks to be chrome on the above link.

Odd one the image we have was provided by SEAT. Appears to be the same photo otherwise.

Let me know when your selling up mate - I'll come round for a test drive

looks good I wonder how much it will weigh though?

Looks like it has drilled discs from the first picture too unless my eyes are playing tricks.

With a 1.4TSI up the front end I doubt it's going to weigh as much as it would with a 2.0 litre lump.

With less weight hanging over the front wheels, it should do wonders for it's handling.

I think I have found a repalcement for my FR wil be booking a test drive when one is about in dealers. Love the colour too!!

Very true, just wondering in general though as there doesn't seem to be such a thing as "small" car any more and will it be lighter than the ibiza?

So the FR ibiza gets the 150bhp and probably 180 with the cupra and this gets the same? Surely performance will be nigh on identical?
Playing devils advocate i'm going to guess this will cost more than the fr/cupra but not sure how many it will sell over it?

Dont get me wrong it looks fantastic but just wondering how many they will sell?

Just a pity it still doesn't have independent rear suspension as that would help it complete with the likes of the mini in handling stakes.
