Not an SUV as much as a AWD hatchback, but still hella ugly.

Looks pretty good, but I prefer the 2003 version, which looks/is sportier

The 2005 version looks alot like the Seat Altea, or are they the same car

Here is a pic of a Seat Altea

you mean what is going on with SEAT... cause they make FUGLY WRECKS lately.. they all look the same.. they all look like freakin SUV/MPV hybrid things...
IMO they can just as well shut down the factory cause if they keep building that crap...
why turn every car into a MPV/SUV or MSV like seat calles them....

don't they understand that they will loose almost buyers wgo bought the original leon?? cuase that was a rather populare hatchback/coupe and now... it is a other granny mover like the ALTEA..

so IMO BAD MOVE (already seen the pics a while back... but still)

Compared the the piece of *** they made out of toledo, this one is very good imo. Finally a fresh and sporty look instead of van look. A few years ago seat was supposed to be the sporty brand of VW, not with the altea and toledo it's a family brand...

Yeah I agree with you.... this new Leon is quite good, but the old one is better.

IMO They should have kept the previous Leon, and have called this new Leon "Altea". That would be cool. This thing is the best van I have ever seen: look the 19"rims, the sporty muggler and body... but it is a van!!

BTW my family car is a nice 2003 Seat Toledo 8) 110HP hehe.

Maybe you should wait until you see it in real life.. The only reason it looks like a MPV is because of it's shape, it isn't really that high.

A little off topic...

Seat rides names are taken from Spanish cities.... This is leon

I live in Valladolid :P The little map is Spain, and the big is my "state", Castilla.

Edited: Leon also means Lion :P

the only thing i like about the 2005 version are its wheels, they're not bad 4 factory trim i guess.
competition version looks ok, guess those stickers hide a lot of that ugly body contours... :?
