Read this, its looking good for the new hot hatch


Seat reveals Leon FR prices
Oh dear, it isn't good news for Seat's hot hatch rivals.

The Spanish firm has announced its new Leon FR will cost from £16,995 and the first models are due to rip up UK Tarmac in July.

That price is for a 197bhp five-door hot hatch that looks meaner than Mike Tyson just after you've bitten off his ear.

It's also around £4,000 cheaper than the five-door Volkswagen Golf GTi, with which the Seat shares the same chassis and engine.

Those of a diesel persuasion will need to pony up £17,495 for the Leon 2.0 TDi FR, which has a 167bhp version of Seat 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine.

"Those of a diesel persuasion" Haha, makes them sound like an alternative lifestyle.

Another car that makes the Golf GTI seem even more overpriced!

How can VW justify ripping it's customers off, just for the sake of something we can't even see; image?

I actually think its more desireable than a golf Gti too, in a strange sorta way, a Leon FR just sounds goood.

It certainly looks better.

And seeing as VW own SEAT...!
I'd still wait for the new Cupra, although SEAT have yet to be pinned down on a relase date. The whispers are, Audi are working on a new engine and SEAT are waiting to see how it performs...
