Not too sure about that front grill,but I do like that 3/4 view in the bottom pic.I know its basically a revamped A4,but yeah,really liking it.

 

[leon_81]

i've got to say, i do quite like that

 

[Timthebrief]

I've carefully followed the threads on this and IMHO the Exeo is looking better in these pictures than the Motorshow ones, mind you black always looks good.

IF they can get the pricing right and undercut the Passat and Audi significantly, whilst delivering a good spec, then few people will be bothered that it's last generation underpinnings or even that it doesn't look as overtly sporty as some of us might prefer. The Estate will probably be even better looking and potentially a great family wagon.

Value for money will be the key as Ford and Poxhall will be discounting like crazy to keep their heads above water, and fleet sales will give SEAT the best chance of increasing market share.

Looks like it might make a tidy and affordable police car as well being that bit bigger than the Octavias which have sold so well. (photoshop anyone?) Expect a few will be loaned out for evaluation next spring.

mmmm - I like that a lot

Not a fan of the new SEAT range in general I'm afraid, but this I like - I just hope they get the right 'quality' feel and look to the interior.

[edit]
a quick google looks promising, kind of a cross between Audi quality and Alfa style I think...

2.0T FSI version with a Stage III kit on it, and it would go like a train too.

Any news on the Avant (or whatever they decide to call it) version yet? Come to think of it, it would be perfectly in keeping with the current SEAT marketing strategy to ignore the estate market completely and think they've got it covered with the Altea XL or something.

 

[Leonidas]

Any news on the Avant

I would bet it's goin to be called the sport tourer

 

[ZBOYD]

They could always call it the Vario

 

[Feel]

Yeah, looking better all the time. If it's a cheaper way into a Sporty 2.0T larger car, I'd be looking - as long as there is a lift back option - Saloons are for fools with no life.

If you're listening SEAT UK:

the Market needs an Exeo Cupra Sport Tourer*,
get RID of that wood on the Dash,




*"the market needs" and "I want" are interchangeable.

Audi A4?? Or is that just me? The front is Seat the rest ofthe exterior is Audi inspired.

 

[Cupra Kev]

I'm liking that a lot ... any idea when they're going to release what engines are available in it ... 2.0 is pretty much guaranteed, 2.0TFSI would be very nice

 

[Feel]

Audi A4?? Or is that just me? The front is Seat the rest ofthe exterior is Audi inspired.

Yeah, that's basically what it is - rebadged A4.

The New Toledo/Altea with bits on was a complete flop, they missed the mark by a long way.

I get the impression that this is a knee jerk reaction to that.

 

[tris]

Any news on when it will be in the dealers?

 

[Andywarr]

id buy a used A4 everytime

Those pics look miles better than some others though

 

[t0m]

Looks promising.. But as others have mentioned it's about when it's at the dealers for a good look, so we can really judge it.

 

[kriso]

That front end suits the Exeo. Doesn't look right on the new Ibiza, but on the bigger Exeo it does. Never liked those rear tail lights tho..they should scrap anything resembling a Toledo imo

 

[Tizer]

Looks nice i like!

 

[Tartan58]

they should scrap anything resembling a Toledo imo

 

[markmeus]

I think he was referring to the monstrosity that is the mk2 toledo. and the mk1 is a great looking car
