[jack]

found these at the carspyshots.net forums

http://www.wipo.int/cgi-hag/guest/i...+0+24125+F+2+14+1+25+SEP-0/HITNUM,B,,+ON/seat
that link contains both the design of the bolero[edit - Exeo] sedan & touring
as well as, what seems to me, to be the production version of the tribu concept

didn't the same institute leaked some Mazda cars recently ?

The first pic looks very similar to an Audi A4 and the avant does as well

The car (that AFAIK is going to be called Exeo) is just a "facelifted" A4 B7.

Re: Seat Bolero & Tribu designs leaked

That's true , Bolero is based on the B7 Audi A4.

Both look quite nice though , better than B7 A4 and Tiguan for certain.

I'm glade that at least their SUV has an individual design. seat would deserve even more attention from Audi/VW and I really hope that the body sharing of the B7 doesn't hurt the brand too much.

Can't they spend just that little bit more money and re-skin the Audi A4, cause what all these Exeo owners are going to do is to get the A4 font bumper as soon as their get their Seat.

are those sold in europe? i've never heard those names..

I think both designs are hideous compared to the original B7 A4 and Tiguan.

Hopefully they're better in the flesh.

I liked the smooth SEAT design not this edge design

Yeah I agree especially on the "A4". The shape was designed for the looks of the Audi A4 now that Seat have extended it...it looks wrong

New Seat Exeo is an old Audi A4



VW subsidiary Seat is, like The Jeffersons, movin' on up, rolling out a new range of vehicles that will push it into new market segments. The image above is one of a set of the automaker's Exeo sedan given to the trademark office in Spain. According to the company, "the new name stems from the Latin word 'Exire', meaning "to go beyond", "to go further", and "The name Exeo is advanced, forceful and technological, which signals excellence and is highly suggestive of driving pleasure." Ok...

Instead of creating something completely new to chart these unknown waters, Seat has taken a previous gen Audi A4 and given it front and rear clips in the Seat style. Seat will also use the A4 Avant body to create an Exeo wagon. The newish sedan is meant to compete with the Ford Mondeo, Renault Laguna, and Alfa Romeo 159 and will be launched some time next year as a 2010 model. It is expected to retail for £15,000 to £23,000 in the U.K. and we don't yet know which powerplants it will receive.
