Another Good Reason to be Spanish
Once again we're tempting viewers with "a car you can't buy here" and once again it's a beauty. SEAT, Volkwagen's Spanish subsidiary, unveiled the new Leon FR sedan this week at the Madrid Motor Show. This delicious hatchback, says Autoblog in a brief report, "is powered by either a new 200 hp 2-liter TFSI gasoline engine or SEAT's 170 hp 2-liter TDI diesel. The top-line TFSI powerplant is good for 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in a respectable 7.3 seconds. Performance trim includes 17- or 18-inch Alloy Wheels, and a very nice-looking set of sport seats." We also learn that the new Leon features bi-xenon headlights integrated with the car's chassis dynamics system. Thus they can not only be steered into a corner but will also adjust height with vehicle load changes. Must be a fun time in Madrid, the auto show following on Fernando Alonso's F1 victory at the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday, the first time a Spaniard has won his home country's race.
