Looks like a Golf  it is a Golf, but better looking and cheaper.

Looks pretty good, 3dr Cupra R sounds rather tasty.

It's still let down by the crappy interior. If they employed someone who can design decent interiors then it would be a decent alternative to a golf.

Lots more pics here: http://www.inautonews.com/paris-motor-show-live-2013-seat-leon-gets-presented/2013-seat-leon00012#.UGbwskJqtHg
Fingers crossed the Cupra has a bit more character than the outgoing one.

I'm not talking about the materials, i'm talking about the layout. It doesn't cost anymore money to come up with a better layout apart from the person's time to think and draw. And since that person is probably employed by Seat and not a contractor then it doesn't cost them anything anyway as they are already paying that person an annual wage.

I think that looks better than the new Golf. Which looks like a MK6 by the way.  :whistle:

Agreed, I much prefer the styling of the Leon over the mk7.
