Just seen the new Altea in www.autoindex.com, it seems everyone is doing the same thing these days...
Very TCV-ish, it even has the same swooping crease line. I hope MGR had the time to change the design and go somewhere else stylewise.

haha that article bout the mini estate is hilarious....i mean, WOOD!?!:doh:

I must admit that I can't see TCV in the Seat Altea. I've looked at all angles of it and just can't see it.

Make your own minds up

That's not the production Altea, that is the MSV Design Study.

This is the production version of Altea.

They look almost identical and nothing like the TCV

More A class to me.

Absolutely terrible as is the case with most recent new car designs.

Although I am very impressed with the new Audi A3 and the new A8 is fantastic !

LatinRover · Feb 5, 2004

I'm sorry, but that's the first impression I had when I saw it (that it was very similar to the TCV). And probably that's what many people will see. Most buyers don't get into the details and just see a general shape. My father's partner in business can't tell a Honda Accord from a Mazda6 (and he owns an Accord)!
"oh, it's another of those new minivans..." slab sided, tall, with styled headlamps and big logos. 307, Picasso, Corolla/Verso, Golf/Touran... do you think they all look distinctive in their own right? I never saw the spy pics of the RD60, but the TCV doesn't look special enough these days.

Well I like it.

I must say that the SEAT Tango is an ace looking car, and I really must raise a glass to SEAT for sticking so closely to their concepts when so many other manufacturers water them down into mediocraty for their production versions.

I think that is a lovely looking car and will be popular with the younger market. I can really see that doing well, and as I do a lot of valeting for a Seat dealership, I hope I will be seeing one before long

im with vitesse sport on this one will do good in a younger market

am i the only one who thinks it looks like a civic?

rsymes97 · Feb 5, 2004

the roofline is too high though...

Ultimate Racer · Feb 5, 2004

roof line way too high, weird front.. reminds me of some sort of nasty insect... big no no for me.

The mini woody is a nice reminder of the "the way we were" but would never sell.

PatrickT · Feb 6, 2004

They don't look similar at all. The Seat looks attractive and classy whereas the TCV doesn't.
