The Ibiza is getting an Leon-eqsue makeover.

Here's the piccies:

Although note that the amount of re-tooling required to achive this might mean that it will be scaled-back to just the front end and tailgate, ala the Polo's recent updating.

Let's hear your opinions...

Deek.

The middle grille is far too big

Prefer the current one to be honest

I kinda like it, it fits in with the other new models at least, but to be honest I prefer the larger proportions of the Leon to this facelifted Ibiza. Still, in Cupra guise with a Golf GTi engine I think this new Ibiza will be worth a second look IMO

the current one is good! so the new one needs to be better not worse

LMAO

It looks funking ridiculous from the front, and the back ain't really up to much either.

Looks like a photoshopped MK4 Cupra to me?

What a shame.... It's like re-modelling Cat Deeley to look like Lisa Riley...

That's a very poor p-chop to me. Look at the interior...this isn't a French car, so why are the pedals all the way to the right? Also, that's the current dash cut in half, with new Leon bits.

However, I think it's going to be like that on the front, and the rear will definately be badged like that.

Those are the current Cupra front and rear bumpers. Obviously a photoshop. Looks like it's a cross between the current Cupra and that VW Fox I think with a huge gaping front grille. Ugh!
