Cheeky Seat:
"We are non making a Seat Ibiza Cupra, the 1.5TSI is sporty enough"
But they are making a Cupra Ibiza, I am inwards the marketplace pose for i of those (Fiesta ST, Polo GTI), but honestly that ridiculous branding in addition to logo postulate maintain the appeal out of it, fifty-fifty if the base of operations Ibiza is already a squeamish car.
i completely agree! They postulate maintain thrown out the subtle chequered flag logo in addition to classy sporty upgrades in addition to replaced them with a brash logo, chav copper detailing, which merely serves to cheapen the sense in addition to operate into less desirable. Just when Seat has started to discovery its pose inwards the group.
I intend this pretending Cupra is a dissever build is stupid, nonetheless given SEAT has done so, shouldn’t y'all live on calling it the Cupra Ibiza rather than the SEAT Cupra Ibiza?
i postulate maintain to concur that the novel badge looks awful.
