You’re not alone Anneka. I think the new Leon looks very drab to be honest. The so-called “sporty” FR version shown looks anything but sporty! SEAT designers could (and should) have done a much better job design wise. I guess the brief from VW HQ was not to make it more appealing than the new Golf… which it certainly isn’t!
I know cars are all about opinions and that we all differ in our choices – but to me – the new Golf is just as boring as this new Leon!
