Help! I want to know about the new Leon Cupra...

Does anyone know if the new Leon Cupra have a tiptronic version???

Doubt it seeing as VW dont have a tiptronic gearbox for FWD vehicles.... Every chance it may get the DSG box at some point though.

is the cupra definately 4x4?

Spoke to the local seat dealer today while testing an LCR and he reckoned they won't do a 4x4 over here as SEAT have problems getting it working when the car is made right hand drive - something about a differential.

Also he reckons it won't be here till the new year as the factory has not started making any yet and it takes 3 months plus to make - apparently they close the entire of August at the factory as well.

Could all be crap, but hey ho.

being 4x4 would put in competition with the golf R32, which would not be a bad thing.

fingers crossed it's a 4x4

Lads, it aint gonna happen. Audi will not let Seat take its market by releasing a 4wd hot hatch. Having had a new shape 4wd A3 you seriously wouldn't want it anyway, spoils the whole feel of the car... the old LCR was better by far.

I must say I test drove an A4 1.8T quattro before I bought the new Leon, the Audi wasn't anyway near as good to drive as the Leon. That's progress I guess, (and the new Golf platform!)
