Seat has taken the rather unusual step of releasing an initial sketch of a car that is at least 18 months away from production.
The so-called Seat B-Segment car will be the Sapnish firm's first foray into the Mondeo-Passat-Avensis end of the market. No technical details of the car are available yet, other than that it will be built at Seat's main Martorel factory near Barcelona.
It's pretty safe to assume that it will use engines and running gear from the VW Golf and Passat, although it's too early to tell just how big a car it will be. Full size saloon on a Passat chassis? Or stretched Golf platform to straddle the Focus-Mondeo sized footprint, a la Skoda Octavia.
We'll know more closer to the as-yet unnamed model's launch date in 2009.
