If you mean the (mk2) Leon Cupra, you could try asking on:

I've got the warm FR, and like it very much.

Old Cupra was good looking in a bland sort of way. New one a pile of carp to look at. Can't stand that side moulding. Reminds me of the rococo look that invaded Detroit in the early seventies, before the whole thing went Mickey Mouse.

No doubt it goes well enough, and handles far better than most users will ever need it to. Looks like an Indonesian Noddy car though.

LMAO! :-) Without a doubt the funniest appraisal of vehicle styling I've read in a long time.

Actually, as the current crop of "mini-van" hatches go, I reckon the Leon's one of the better looking. I agree though the old one in the right colour (red or metallic grey) was better looking. I thought the bodykit was very nicely judged.

Cheers
DP

Parked next to a metallic red new Leon the other day and thought it looked great. Don't know which version but it had wheels with seven non-tapering spokes that really set it off well.
