To be honest, that particular Scirocco is a pretty pointless car in my humble opinion although I agree the gauges are cool.

I was going to post the same Al
Can't see a market for it , they even admit the scirocco sales are very small.

If it was based on the MQB platform then would be another car to consider.
Pricing wise surely needs to be below the golf gti pricing even though it carries the R badge.

I really think the new Cupra looks very nice in the white. I wonder what's the first mod Scott will do when he get's his lol?

The front lip? :p

It supposed to be white, I was finishing a customers website last night and while I had photoshop open I just applied a gradient map and earsed round in places very quickly, my monitor at home is set a bit darker than my work one. And I can see the places where I have forgot to clear and also looks silver I do apologize it's not professionally done.

I just wanted to see the front lip black and wheels a bit darker.

I am determined to find the best colour for this model, I was liking the grey in the review that Scott did but I also liked the black when it was first spotted and also liking the white too.

Hi All (First Post!)

I did ask a couple of questions last night on the twitter Q&A session, see the link below which should hopefully open up the search results in twitter for the #AskSEAT hashtag which they used.

Also a thing to look at, footage posted by the @Seat_Cars_UK twitter account of a 0-60mph run in the cupra.

EDIT: Turns out I cannot post URLs yet (need to do 15 posts!!).

Just do a search in google for @Seat_Cars_UK and take a look at the history.

OK Questions asked:

Q: Why cant we have a #Cupra 280 ST 4Drive??
A: We can't confirm that there will be an #Cupra version of the Leon ST coming up, but do keep an eye out here for more.
Q: Question was about 4Drive version though :(
A: We can't confirm any plans for 4WD at the moment ^Leon

Q: I noticed the new #Cupra has rain sensing wipers, does it have auto headlights either as standard or an option? #AskSEAT
A: The auto headlights come as standard on the Leon #Cupra #AskSEAT

Q: been reading articles that a cupra R 4wheel drive system based on the Audi rs3 is being tested, should we wait for this?
A: We can't say for sure what may come in the distant future but we can say that the Leon #Cupra 280 is a great car


There wasn't a huge amount asked last night unfortunatly and most of it wasnt regarding the fwd Cupra but rather the ST version or cupra R.

Any idea when the Cupra / Cupra 280 will appear on online configurator?

I have to take our other car in for a service next week so might pop into the Seat dealer on the way back to ask when we can get a demo.
