Not sure on the Cabrio either - won't people just think they're getting a rebadged A4?
Suicide IMO
Nobody wants 4wd anyway [in the UK], and it won't suit the fleet image that SEAT are pushing the Exeo in - increased emissions & poorer fuel economy

I don't like the quick & dirty approach to new models... Will they just get us a VW Golf Mk5 and call it the Mk3 Leon?
SEAT are only using the old audi car cause they wanted to get into this segment asap and using the old A4 was the quickest way. Next gen exeo will be a real SEAT product.

You're telling me like I didn't sit in the Press Launches
But surely by using the A4 Cab, that's a quick way in
And the Q7 could be a quick way into SUV
And the TT could be a quick way into Coupe
All too easy to get into old model syndrome?
The Exeo4 with the 260bhp engine from the S3/TTS/Cupra R etc.. would be interesting. The VW group only seem to use this engine (in this state of tune) in its smaller models, any reason why it can't be used in a Exeo/A4 sized saloon?
I like the Cupra R but the interior and lack of all round visibility is a big problem.
Not 100% up on these things but I think the 260bhp engine is a transverse unit and the Exeo/A4 use a longitudinal engine - I may be wrong though
But I reckon if they do go ahead with a 4wd version, then they'll probably use something like the B7 S4 engine.....
Mind you, I doubt Seat are going to put a lot of investment in it, if the sales don't pick up..... 1,400 sales in 2009 don't sound like the kind of figures you'd rely on when looking to invest £££ into expanding the model
The 4.2V8 in the B7 is being phased out of the range (still in the current S5), and replaced with the B8's 3.0T which is an immense engine.
