New pic found

How did this " " become this " " ?

I don't like it

 

[Ol' Timer]

I suppose on the FR and Cupra versions the trapezoid opening below the number plate will be the other way up like the hotter Leons. I'm trying to imagine it on the red car in the photo above.

It's all right but not very exciting.

[PaulieB]

Kindof thinking it looks a bit like the BMW 1 series now to be honest, especially as Irfan said it would be only available in 5 door to start....

 

[topleya]

Taken from Martin Ward in Fleet News 14/02/2008.

"Friday. Went to Ingolstadt, the home of Audi, to look at an early pre-pre-production Seat Ibiza, which goes on sale late July.

Seat is taking advantage of Audi's legendary skills in the art of producing cars with high build quality, and the Spanish company is determined to build this quality into its vehicles.

The new Ibiza will be launched as a five-door only in July, with a very stylish three-door Sports Coupé being revealed later this year.

The Sports Coupé certainly has the looks that will appeal to a younger audience, and if quality is as good as promised, with sensible pricing, Seat may be on to a winner."

Although there are no pictures, I was pleased to read that the quality should be improved (and about bloody time), and noted that the five-door didn't get a comment on the looks front. It probably looks unremarkable. I think it's a shame that the car will be little more than a re-body job like the Fabia. I really hope that there is more imagination on the engine front.

Interesting.

So will that be like... no 3 door hatch? Just the 5 door and wierd coupe thing?

 

[IainW]

Just a fancy way of describing a 3 door hatch I think.

 

[Leonidas]

D'ont know if it's offical

 

[m0rk]

wtf is that lump on the bonnet?

 

[CHR15B]

I'd doubt it would be five-door only... that would mean they have no 3-door hatch's on the market.

 

[Leonidas]

Seems to be just the shape of the bonnet..

 

[Leonidas]

I'm likeing this though.
This seems to be the most common shape

 

[CHR15B]

Very "Astra Sporthatch" like?

 

[m0rk]

I'm likeing this though.
This seems to be the most common shape

somewhere in the middle should be the next car

Reminds me of the new impreza. Not quiet coupe like as they have promised for the 3 door so not sure on the validaty of that pic. But then again car manufacturers always exaggerate!

I like that.

What makes you say it will only be a rebody. My sources indicate at one point that the next ibiza chassis will be shared with the Audi A1.

Also whats wrong with the current ibiza's engines?

 

[Syphon]

If it's got a bit more leg room in the back than the current model we could be tempted as our second car when our 1.4 sport's PCP is up next year.
