Default Is VAG bringing SEAT automobiles to the US? I just saw one on the highway. I passed it pretty
quickly but coming up said "what the hell is that?" because of the LARGE Seat emblem on the rear hatch. I didn't see the model clearly but it was either "Ibiza" or "Prism" or something like that. This just after I saw some rich b1tch in a Continental GT.

Just curious.

PS- San Diego weather is AWESOME when it's warm!!

Default Doubt it. the US does not need another Yugo. Probably a MFG "test" car...
We get a lot of those around detroit...

Default They are popular in Mexico. The Leon Cupra R is their highest performance
model with the TT 225HP engine package on the golf platform. Its a cheaper version of the S3.

Default Leon Cupra R with 225hp 1.8T. A pretty sweet little if you ask me. No Yugo by any means.

Default I would take the Ibiza Cupra. 160 hp diesel which gets awesome mileage...
And does 0-60 in the mid 7's.
