This is one of the most boring car I've seen these three last years. They could have done something MUCH more stylish. The Chrysler 300C and the old E Class also shared their platform and suspension elements but they definitely had their own look! And finally...just to say it: LOOKS LIKE AN A4!!!!!!

Definitely previous A4. Lack of imagination. Looks like a mixed models of VW Group in a washing machine PassatoAudiSkoda something. Financial crisis is close so VW thinks no one will be buying new cars, that's why they didn't create anything at least nice-)))

What awful photos! Terribly lit with some poor photoshopping. The car looks like a Chinese Audi clone but the interior looks good! The crap photos and colour let this car down

A Seat at the price of a VW Passat... What's the point?

Ex-A4 copied and pasted. Only uglier.

i think it worked out quite nice, i mean it's obvious it's an Audi, but this is not a bad base for car. If it is properly priced, it should be a good car. The exterior looks quite elegant, and they've managed to stick the Ibiza front preety well, I'm only a bit dissapointed of the interior, I hoped for some change here. Anyways, it's really not that bad, besides VW already did something like this with prev-gen Passat & Superb.

As a Spaniard, I don't want a german sedan to represent a Spanish brand. Seat has completely lost its personality with this bland A4 remake

A cut-price Audi A4!!! It even has the A4 convertible's round air vents. With a few extra Euros, you can buy the parts for the entire front end of the previous A4. Why buy the new A4 when this one looks so good? The GPS screen is where it should be, and the dash is one of the best I've seen: simple yet elegant.

VW/Audi have been doing this for a long time in the Chinese market, so it's nothing new. I totally agree with Pole McCoy...atleast MB gave the Chrysler 300 it's own personality. This is ridiculous. It is an insult to the SEAT brand and the Spanish market, and also an insult to Audi owners for taking their car down-market. I wil never buy an Audi for reasons like these...and Audi will never equal MB or BMW for the same reasons. SHAME on you!

I will admit I'm not really disappointed from this car. I mean, it is obviously a A4 but... so what? Seeing it from the point of a company, they ditched a previous sedan for the ugly Toledo with that weird rear end and sales dropped to next to nil, so now they are not sure if this will really work out. In the end, the developement cost was held low and they can introduce a sedan and wagon to the market. If things go well, we will surely see a continuation of the model in the next 3 to 5 years with next to no resemblance to the original A4.

It wasn't so long ago that Seat was getting next generation VAG underpinnings for each of its models. Wasn't the Leon out before the Golf is was based upon. And now Seat is using a platform that is using a platform designed 10 years ago with an unwelcomed heavy front bias and steering criticised for being numb. That doesn't seem to fit with sporting tradition. If you believe that Seat is a Spanish Alfa Romeo, this is poor competition for the 159.
