I wonder if this means something like the MK1 Focus RS got, and I wonder if it is cancelled out if you switch ESP off.

Focus RS got mechanical LSD, and XDS is "electronic" one like in Abarth 500 or JCW Cooper S (AFAIK it breaks spinning wheel without cutting power off).

I was under the impression that the diff in the MK1 Focus was electronic rather than mechanical. I may well stand corrected, but will check it out anyway

I'm almost sure it was Quaife one.
Mechanical in the Focus RS I believe. Not sure electronic would be better than mechanical. Also will it work at all speeds not just low ones??? I wonder if you could program it though Vag Com or even upload the feature into the existing cars.. You never know...

Doubt it mate.
It will be worth seeing if it is any good although I doubt it would be as effective as a mechanical differential setup.
I doubt it as well.. on both counts but someone cleaver enough might manage it after all (makes assumption) the hardware on the car will be the same...
I am wondering if they are going to make the Cupra and FR very visual different cars. I mean the Focus RS looks nowt like a Focus sure it has a family resemblance but looks completely diff. Maybe they are looking to do that with the Leon. Maybe a redesigned K1 kit for the car but as standard and badged Cupra not K1. Thoughts.... (thats what I would do anyway). Though the flip side is the Cupra is very stealthy not in your face or majorly aggressive (which I like) it's all in the small details
Bit of luck a small powerhike on the sales boards as well to keep the 40bhp margin (though we all know the power figures are conservative) but cannot upset the apple cart can we.I doubt it as well.. on both counts but someone cleaver enough might manage it after all (makes assumption) the hardware on the car will be the same...

Maybe. The thing is though that a lot of us Cupra owners would not have bought the car if the ugly Aero bumpers were bolted on as standard. It is going to be interesting to see if the Aero bumpers finally get thrown in the skip when the facelift comes along, and it will be great if the Cupra does look different from the FR, more muscular and not fitted as standard with across the range optional Marmite style bumpers some love and some hate.
I'm still a bit bemused why a so called sporty car and sporty image doesn't get a DSG of it's FR 170 diesel like it's more sedate brother Skoda and a Golf GT.

none more than me, and that's got nothing to do with SEAT engines or facelifts. Form an orderly queue!

That's because most hairdressers would think the paddles would operate some sort of in car blow dry
The main page of the site shows the new Ecomotive leon, and you can see what the bumper will look like on the facelifted normal models, have to say I think it looks better than the facelift FR bumper
And it looks like the standard non sat nav radio is the one from the ibiza, so ipod functionality should be much better.

The only downside to the facelift is the climate control. With the standard radio as show above, there's no screen to tell you what settings you've chosen.
