Mk5 Ibiza breaks cover

[Poverty]

A bit sad looking

looks like 5 door only to me so even more

can't see SEAT doing a different shorter body for a low volume supermini

The ibiza is not a low volume car. Its sells in the hundreads of thousands.

I stand corrected,

well lets look at it like this.

Get a mk2 TT or a 3 series beemer in poverty spec and it will look tosh. Early porverty spec ibizas looked crap too. Stick some nice rims on it and get a sportier styled kit and it could very well look brill. We will soon find out though I suppose!

I hope the ibiza stays semi exclusive. I like it that hardly anyone has an ibiza.

Did I miss something? I thought it out-sold the Polo and Fabia...

world wide sales figures yes it probably does. Ibizas are everywhere in spain and greece. But in the UK there are more polos. Probably more ibizas than fabias though in the UK.

Polos themselves are semi exclusive I would say compared to the fiestas clios and corsas.

I hope they put a sticky at the top of the new mk5 section when they make it:

"HAHA you just bought a Mk5"

I think it might look good later. The mk2 leon were gash when i first saw it, now i like it.

The cover ups are quite successful, but I hate the swage lines - makes the car look like it's been thumped front and rear, and bent in the middle!

I'm reserving full judgement until I see the 3 door...

 

[Mikey_H]

thats put a smile on my face looks crap

 

[rashcupra]

here is my mock up version

think this does have potesial dont be fooled by the cover up's
as i stated before some alloys a 3 door version bumpers spoiler ect and it will be a NICE motor all depends on engine!

I think engine wise the cupra will probably get the 1.8T again but a refreshed version with better efficiency.

Polos are overpriced though .Id guess that most Polo buyers get the 1.2 or 1.4 petrol where theres less difference in price with the Fabia or Ibiza and you get the VW name plus better refinement, quality materials etc. On the other hand Ive seen few Polo TD1 Sports compared to the equivalent Ibiza . Big difference in price .
Seat could do with improving things like refinement and ride quality on some of their models , at the end of the day more important than looks to many people .

[rashcupra]

needs slamming

 

[Guinness]

think we have seen that one before

 

[findosa]

Confused

If so, why has everyone been discussing the spy shots for the past five pages???

 

[Guinness]

that came out awhile ago if I remember and we all took it to be something else, I think.

 

[Boom^]

Living in spain. Ill keep an eye out in case they seem to end up on the roads here first. But obviously this will be next year sometime.
Personally i dont think they look too bad. Would need to go look at one in a showroom rather than some spy photos or magazine shots.
They will be different, and just might need a bit of growing time.
