SEAT calls it a “Spanish surprise” in its Paris 2008 press release but I’ll leave it up to you to judge whether a rehashed B7 Audi A4 is surprising in any way.
I first drove the B7 A4 back in 2006 and found it to be a very nice place to be in, especially in the 2.0 TFSI guise that I had my hands on.
The Exeo updates the A4’s interior with circular air conditioning vents instead of square ones as well as a more modern instrument panel featuring classy dark LCD panels with white fonts. The B7’s interior is still very much “in” and carries a more classy and contemporary look as compared to the B8’s more sporty jetfighter-cockpit feel.
Under the hood of the Paris show car was the 2.0 litre TFSI engine putting out 200 PS and 280Nm of torque, mounted longitudinally in the engine bay but driving the front wheels.

From Yahoo! source, The oil price is down to $90/barrel. Let’s see the govt doing anything to the local petrol prices, or they rather “ignore” it and make profit from the rakyat.
Sexy Spanish with German blood in it! Looks tter than the Audi A4.
They will pretend that they are gonna do something about it. More cabinet meetings. Dilly dally, here and there, while pushing their luck to see if the price will go up again. Then they will have another excuse as to why they can’t reduce the price more. Full of excuses and full of crap. You just wait and see and mark my words.
An OK looking family sedan underpinned by Audi bodyshell. If the price is competitive, surely its a bargain! Seat benefits a lot under the VW group. Too bad our G is so protective and orthodox minded; if not, we would be having our own Audi re-engineered B7 Waja TFSI.
o-O…too Audi looking in my opinion. Though SEAT is part of VW group which comprises of VW Audi and Skoda, the designers at SEAT should have done more to make it incorporate more SEAT features found in the SEAT Lyon…
I don’t know why, but all of sudden it reminds me of a China looking car. Maybe because of the rear end and the front grill? Hmm.
actually, how to pronounce ‘Seat’? is it same as ‘seat’ (kerusi) or ‘see at’ or ‘say at’ or ‘see art’ or ‘say art’?
its really an audi a4 b7, and its no bad thing actually
The Spanish say it (I'm using English spelling and pronunciation) "SAY—ot". So that's how I would say it if I were you. SEAT is a Spanish language acronym.
