    Haha, I think they are different sizes in real life, and those pictures are just from angles that make them look the same.

    are you trying to prove me wrong? those images are random - they are not in fact from the same angle. they have similar tracks, wheelbases, only leon has a slightly lower roof - and they all use the golf platform -FACT

    he means they´re all fat un diferentiated vehicles that dont know if they are minivans or overweight hatchback cars,

    and that their marketing research probably wasnt too good, or that the designers weren´t capable of creating a range of different vehicles for different lifestyles. i mean, if i was a leon cupra buyer, the LAST thing i would want is my hot hatch being confused with a minivan.

    rather than the obvious front graphic similitude.

    I've been to a SEAT showroom and even though the front fascia does have the "company look" to it, the cars can be differentiated no problem.

    It's funny they export Seats as far as Mexico, but don't bring them up to USA/Canada. While I'm not really a fan of the current Seats, I would've loved a 2003 Leon Cupra R. Hot little cars.
    i was waiting on a moment, but the moment never came. all the billion other moments, were just slipping all away. i must have been tripping, we're just slipping all away. just ego tripping.

    From the front they look more or less the same (and you've forgotten the newly launched Altea XL). It's not a case of looking similar or a family face, but rather cars that actually look nearly exactly the same from the front. In my opinion that's wrong, since they are trying to sell those cars as different models when they clearly aren't.

    However the Ibiza looks clearly different from that quartet as does the Alhambra. And apparently they are planning on building the Tango.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    thanks everyone on the informative feedback, especially knowing that in a showroom they are all different. Maybe i am disagreeing with the curvy styling. The pictures where chosen randomly. Seats bargaining point in Europe is their price, and because VW(seat) have infrastructure in Mexico it markets a lot there too.

    I thought this thread was going to be some very abstract talk about how all chairs looks the same

    I thought this was going to be about seats... not SEATs

    I do find them to be a little confusing and i see a lot of them every day, my favourit is the Leon,better proporcioned and wider than the rest, the Cordoba is the ugly one in the bunch IMO.
