In the near future, the model’s ecological ECOMOTIVE, FR and Cupra versions will also make their appearance.

FR and Cupra or a prototype 'may' possibly feature at the London Motorshow, SEAT chose London to reveal the Leon Cupra in 2006. Though it will no doubt be 2009 before the hot versions are available to buy.

This new entry level 3 door is due on sale here before the end of the year.

Very nice

Might be worth a purchase once the Cupra version comes out of course!

Its a shame as I was under the impression the 3 door model would be for the Sporty versions only, which I would have said FR/Cupra models only

 

[ZBOYD]

I think that was the initial plan, but the dealer networks wanted 3 doors too.

I can't believe VAG are still peddling the 1.9 TDI - especially as a 90bhp model.. why would you buy that when the 1.4 TDI has 80bhp!?

 

[Saul]

i think the 1.9tdi is still stuck in a lot of commercials for vag, so makes sense for a 'cheap' car to produce

1.4tsi would be a great motor in the ibiza

The entry level 3 door looks to much like the entry level 3 door corsa's for my liking.

i think they should have chosen candy white , or the infery black (sp) for the press pictures as that blue looks rank imho, as for the 7 speed dsg in the 1.6 why? you'd be forever changing gears in it..... i could understand it being put in something with a bit of poke though.......
I will be watching with anticipation to see what the FR and Cupra's are going to look like aswell me thinks.

True,the TSI is a cracking engine.I hear VW dealers are trying to persuade potential buyers to take the old 1.6 FSI engine instead,due to a huge waiting list for the 1.4. If they can't build them quick enough for VW,i guess Seat will be at the end of the queue with Skoda.

It's very nice, but does anyone know when they plan to release the Bocanegra?

They arent, it was a concept which the MK5 has taken cues from.

Hopefully however, the FR/Cupra models will be very close to the Bocanegra however.

 

[ZBOYD]

Apparently, Luc Donckerwolke has indicated that they are looking to produce the Bocanegra. It was so well received critically, that they are intending to manufacture it complete with its black nose.

But it won't be anytime soon.

 

[Rudeboysteve]

Thanks for the reply,
I really do hope they build it as what we've all seen as i will be putting my name down asap

 

[Rudeboysteve]

I was under the impression there were but not sure if it would like the Geneva model

 

[Rudeboysteve]

I've been in contact with my local dealer who kindly sent out to me the Bocanegra dealer pack which is very nice and glossy, but no date on production.

looks proper smart

If they do, and it has a decent powerplant behind it, I'll purchase one.

If Seat made a decent roadster style drop top i'd have one aswell. However they dont, so alias im looking for a Cobra V8

 

[Rudeboysteve]

Yeah it does.
I drive a Leon Cupra and i want one NOW!
Don't care about down sizing

 

[bobmcgod]

the 1.9 i believe is still in production because the haven't finished developing the 1.6cr engine. But I'm betting when they do they'll have the exact same problem building the damn thing as they do with the 14tsi. So the 1.9's still going to be around for a long time yet!

 

[Rudeboysteve]

Hello mate,
If you go on SEAT website and look under motor shows i'm sure they say what power plant it comes with.
I'm sure i read somewhere it was gonna be a 2 litre but one thing i do know the images show it sitting on 19's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They won't hit the dealers with 19" wheels (certainly as standard, unlikely even as an option IMO), so you may need to remove a couple of exclamation marks.
