following on from our thread on the Toledo, ( http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=35544&page=1&pp=40 ), SEAT have now shown off the production version of the next generation Toledo.

You can reads Zboyd's report on the new Toledo here:-

discuss! .....

personally, I dont think it looks as bad as the prototype. I notice that the Altea bumper is used on the front instead of a sporty Cupra/FR influenced one on the prototype, while the rear is also different, similar to the Altea.

not my cup of tea though....hee hee, I still think its *****

Nice review Mark ....

Still not sure about it - AndyB - I think that image you had earlier (New Alhambra/Toledo estate) could well be the Vario that Mark mentions.....

But it does have a huge boot - Should swallow my weekly fill from tesco's (Last week it was two trolleys! Leon's back seat had to be used!!!)

yeap could be, told Z to add that to the article, he does everything I tell him to do

the Auto Express image is very similar to the Auto Bild image, although the German site claims it to be an Alhambra, while the UK mag says a Toledo Estate (but with Leon rear lights- so it could actually be badged a Leon Vario??)

No way its not big enough to be the new Alhambra! - & where's the rear row of seats!!! Pants to AutoBild for that comment.....

re a Leon Vario - doubt it the Toldeo would be the better model to base that on, leaving the Leon as is or as a softop/coupe - Hmm now theres an idea - I should have been a car designer.....

yes, but if the "art" in Auto Express is to be believed, it has Leon lights (when Toledo/Altea would also fit), which would give confusing messages. We are of course basing this on magazine art, but they may (and often) have access to scoop pics

They have copied the back of the bloody Megane! :repuke:

Looks like a vanny thing. I appreciate what they are trying to do though, that market segment is really boring and they are trying to liven it up a bit.
Hope it looks better in the flesh, these recent Seats don't seem to be very photogenic

the new toledo's external view doesnt have that strong impression of the old one.....

rob_r · Aug 19, 2004

it looks sh**, no other word for it

the gadget list is cool, and the diesel is the new 140 unit isn't it?

but that body is just plain embarrassing

runboy · Sep 9, 2004

There is a load of info on the new Toledo on www.news.kak.net.

Looks like a SEAT press release from yesterday. I like the spec!

NOSman · Sep 9, 2004

it look shite. doing some thing different willl get seat noticed but it will make the company like skoda went years ago

Fen · Sep 9, 2004

SEAT have lost the plot so comprehensively that they wouldn't recognise it if they saw it.

WTF is the "young & sporty" arm of VAG doing churning out mini MPV after mini MPV?

andyb · Sep 10, 2004

we should have a extensive report on the main site later, if the hotel I'm staying in gets its ruddy Internet connection sorted

RobT · Sep 10, 2004

Quite like it myself.....thinking in 2L TD / DSG form it may make a cracking tow car for the pickle.

Cheers

IMO the only thing that makes this interesting is the engine options...
