Golf R ....well ok its a Seat but still.....

That's tidy in my opinion.

As far as exterior styling goes, Seat are leading the way, with a reasonable price tag rather than a bumped up name tax.

As mentioned though, it will remain to be seen if the exterior has also been carried over in to the interior.

The all-wheel drive Cupra R should be pretty immense.

Looks to be a big step up in quality from the outgoing model.

Looks like there's also to be a 3 door version; probably the reason for fitting conventional door handles to the 5 door, to help differentiate the 3 door and 5 door models.

I must say, I like the styling of new Leon. If I was in the market for a new car in the next 12-24 months, it would be on my short list.

The Sat Nav actually in proper location where you're not having to look down at the bottom of your dash, massive improvement

The interior on that is a massive step forward compared to the dull, dreary older Leons.

As above, IF I was to consider a new car in the next 24 months, this would be in the "have a good look at" list.
