New Seat

...the new Seat Altea, which is based on the VW Golf's subframe...

The select band of cities, Ibiza, Toledo, Leon, and Cordoba, which have their names emblazoned on the backside of Spanish car maker Seat's models will soon be joined by our very own Altea.

So chuffed are the town councillors with the new Seat Altea, which is based on the VW Golf's subframe, that they're taking along a prototype to the big Madrid travel trade fair, Fitur, later this month. They reckon that both the town, and the car, will benefit together from the publicity at the fair, straplined by the slogan 'Mediterranean Emotions'
