Seat Ibiza Bocanegra Production Version Unveiled in Barcelona

OMFG I'll get this car as soon as it gets to Mexico!!! I was a bit dissapointed because I thought the Bocanegra was not going to make it to production!.. Now it is! :D I'am very happy!!!

Nice Lambo exhaust.

Mito,hold out.Better Seat aka VW than Alfa aka fiat

180bhp is quite powerful for this type of car. Almost in Corsa VXR/RS Clio, and those are tough competitors. At least it has great looks to match the peformance!

This car is very nice. Good power. Limited slip differential. I love it. Seat did a great job.

Agree with IKA595.I really hope and believe this would be a successful model for SEAT.Looks very nice and it's with VW technologies + DSG.Mito is a sharp looking car but will be more expensive and as pointed out VW is better than FIAT so there are good times ahead of SEAT.

Ooooh yeah! Looks really cool!!

Doesn't this overlap with the new Seat Ibiza Cupra?

Now this is what I'm talking about!

??

Very nice! I'd still go for the Mito instead though.

What about diesel version?!?

Can you see the "Cupra" logo inside the speedometer? What about that? Ok, i?ve just seen that the Bocanegra will be a version of both Cupra and FR series, that?s why there are two motors (150 and 180 CV) available...

aha so there will be Ibiza FR and Cupra and Bocanegra FR and Cupra?

hmm letss see...yes to the above comments...perhaps more torque but a chassis I very much so DOUBT is better than Clios ( and Clio has an exceptional chassis to boot)and 20 hp down yeah sounds like it will be better than a clio...Yeah right...

The car with no any class if compare with Mito and Clio. And that from Ferrari taken position of 0- points at six 'a clock on Seat dashboards is really cheap. Lambo e.g. don't do it.

Even though Seat is a subsiduary of VW, this cars design wipes the arse of the MK6 Golf's and Polo's. This is what VW should have done with their designs instead of going Jap-strapped. This car is surely one of the more exciting in the small to medium sized consumer models.

There is just no point in comparison, the Ibiza is definitely superior to the Mito and much more thane the poorly made clio, VW just place all the latest in tech goodies in most of its products. I'm not a VAG fan but I do recognize a good car when I see it, and this is one great car. I drove the standard version of this one already and it drives really good, so I am really looking forward to this bocanegra version. =)

When it was introduced I was invited for a whole day to compare the normal models directly with other makes in its class such as Renault Clio, Peugeot 206, FIAT Punto, Suzuki Swift, Opel Corsa (this one was left out for the comparison as it was the OPC), Nissan Micra, Toyota Yaris, Daihatsu Sirion and VW Polo (old platform) on a closed safety training track, so also with ?-split and wet track. The only car that was as good and entertaining to drive like the Ibiza, was the Suzuki Swift, all others just plain su**ed. Even though we were not allowed to use the OPC on the track, we could go out on a street and I must say I was expecting it to be much more than it was. So sincerely, as soon as this model comes out by the end of this year, I will be the first to sit at the dealer and order it. I was looking to buy the normal Cupra but this is just what I was waiting for since I saw the Bocanegra concept in Geneva in 2008.

So is this car going to be cheaper than the cupra or more??? If it's cheaper then i think it will dent the sales of the cupra because it is so much better looking than the cupra.
