Just went for a browse on the Auto Express website and found the following pics of the new MK5 Ibiza in possible 5 door FR guise...no disguise either :D

Mmmm... 1.8Turbo? I am a little surprised the 1.8Turbo has not made it onto the Leon range in the UK as it has for European models, especially as it's been available on UK Skoda Octavia's for a while now.

So it looks like they mislead us again!:banned:

And i still think it looks ass ugly. Don't think it looks sporty at all tbh. Body wise.

I honestly like it. Compared to the 5-door Mk4 its a huge improvement. The spy shots of the 3 door in Auto Express clearly show that it is virtually identical to the Bocanegra in body shape (you can see the roof line and the more prominent 'shoulders') so that will look even better. What Car mag did an article on it which spoke of how good the quality of materials in the cabin are, so improvement there too.
I'd never buy a 5 door cos they never look as good as the 3 doors, in any car, but this is pretty good, and the 3 door will be excellent.

I can't understand some people.How can you say that mk4 looks better than mk5.
I personally think that mk4 compared to the 5 looks like sh.t.Even cupra's look that way,compaired to the ordinary mk5

That's your opinion and that is ours. People have different opinions and tastes. Thats the way the cookie crumbles.

well said. He only likes cupras anyway all other models to him are crap.

Gonna have a word with the audi boys to see if I can get more news on the new updated 1.8T engine.

Audi are apparently updating the 1.9 TDI with 140hp to do work in the A1 and A3 so chances are it will end up in the ibiza. 51mpg and kicks out 119 co2's.

OK, did a very quick mock up of a 3 door FR, its probably not all that accurate, just wanted to get an idea of how it could look.

I was bored, OK?!?

EDIT: Actually on second thoughts, image was from Auto Express originally, don't know if its OK to post it.
