RE: New Cupra Tavascan officially unveiled
Discussion

That said, the Tavascan is a joint venture between VWAG and a Chinese company, and given that they have the Jetta brand in China, I can understand if it turns out to be a premium VWAG product intended for the Chinese market. I might just be an ignorant consumer but I don't see the Tavascan really making strides in the UK market.
I’m afraid their strategy is very effective: the article doesn’t even remind us that this is another “made in china” car.The goal is to simply be seen as another ID4, but at the same time it is to have a very expensive Chinese product that can have huge margins.
I believe it’s a clever move in the short term but a very destructive one later.

I like it. If it came with a 2.0 biffing 330bhp to all four wheels lots more would too. Those days are over unfortunately!
I'd have this over most of the bland offerings out there.
Erm the Cupra Formentor (however the fk you spell it), A golf R with what looks like the body shell from a Tavascan grafted on top. I'd have this over most of the bland offerings out there.

Id rather the Formentor especially the top spec one with all the bels and whistles. about £44k new

It's an odd marketing strategy to branch the sports models away from Seat with the Cupra brand, then proceed to market SUV's under that brand.
It’s widely assumed the SEAT name will disappear soon.kambites said:
As do the Skoda products, which makes a bit of a mockery of the whole brand hierarchy thing really. I guess this is what happens when VAG insist on VW and Audi getting the cutting-edge stuff when VAG as an organisation are well behind the competition in terms of technology; the "higher end" brands just end up releasing half-finished products.
I really struggle to see why anyone would buy an ID3 over a Cupra Born; or an ID4 over a Skoda Enyaq.
ETA: Stupid name though. Nearly as bad as "MG Cyberster".
Because the Skoda and Cupra options are absolutely gopping?I really struggle to see why anyone would buy an ID3 over a Cupra Born; or an ID4 over a Skoda Enyaq.
