On the occasion of its fourth anniversary, CUPRA has shared its ambitious vision for the year ahead.



At a special online event, the brand announced two new models will join the existing line-up, as well as the launch of a new digital experience, called Metahype – a collaborative new platform in the metaverse, and a new virtual racing experience.









CUPRA X 2: An ambitious vision for 2022



“Our 4th anniversary has a special significance. The plans we have in store for 2022 include the intention to double our sales, double our turnover and double our sales network. This is why we’re calling our ambition CUPRA X 2. Four years ago, many people doubted us, but we never doubted ourselves. This year, we’ll prove once again that nothing can hold back our unstoppable impulse.”Wayne Griffiths, CEO of CUPRA

'Hype' being the operative word. Looks like they're developing a racing game for the Oculus VR headset...

Would have been a lot better that rather announce 'clap trap' they made a commitment to their current customers in resolving the issues on the Formentor and Leon. Maybe an apology and a commitment to sort out all the issues with these cars as a priority as well as making commitments to sort out the supply issues with customers waiting on delivery. It is alright blabbering on about how they plan to double their sales, double their dealers, new models but it will be very difficult for them to do this if they lose most of their current customers base due to their poor customer service and lack of support in resolving issues.
I that that this was very poor of Cupra and shows that they really do not care about their existing customers and their existing issues with their vehicles.

I wonder if the Cupra top brass will appreciate the candid feedback given on this forum to their ****-show?

Do you remember at school there was a kid who was a bit different? They wanted to be cool. They saw another kid, someone who had the money to buy the look of cool and they'd aspire to that.

Sometimes the rich one would take the other kid under their wing and show them the path, often along the lines of cajoling. You know, "Oh, you need X and/or Y or else you aren't really cool".

So of course the kid buys in, they want that cool of the rich kid. They'd act the same way, similar lingo etc. Once or twice they'd have a cool idea which would get them noticed.

But despite the money and all of that the kid wasn't seen as cool, they just bought into an idea. It was hollow, but the kid kept going down that rabbit hole.

Meanwhile there were friends of the kid who though they were cool but as the kid changed the friends weren't so keen. Of course they understood that nothing stays the same but they couldn't help feeling that if the kid had understood they were cool for being themself then maybe they wouldn't be chasing some rich kids fantasy.

Anyway, after that totally unrelated story time, who's ready to board the metahype train? Choo choo!

As I’ve written in the other thread relating to this, I honestly have no idea what any of this means.
Never heard of metaverse or NFT and I’m not alone cause even the predictive text on my I phone didn’t know metaverse so can we please come back down to earth? :ROFLMAO:
What a load of tosh!

They probably haven't got time to read the comments. They're too busy trying to decide what trainers to buy next ;)

Trust we when I say that Cupra do not give a monkeys. I am on my second Formentor, bought one in March 2021, rejected in August, offered a replacement in September and still have issues with the second vehicle. Unfortunately having dealt with Cupra customer services since June 2021 in respect of the originally rejection and subsequent problems with the second vehicle I can tell you they do not have a clue or care about their customers.
The might care when they do not have any left though.
Just out of interest I have emailed Cupra customer services this morning telling them what a load of rubbish this was and also asking for Mr. W Griffiths to make contact with an actual real customer - what the betting he does?
