I think these are just their run arounds. They have better cars for special occasions ;D ;D

Nice to see our taxes being spent on German goods!

Wouldn't think of buying Seat then to boost turnover and jobs, they obviously don't think Spain has an unemployment problem.  :o :o :o >:( >:( >:(

Are Seat even still made in Spain? They're part of the VWAG group, no?

Think your find there assembled in spain. well some of the model range. The Alhambra was (not sure if it still is) made in Portugal along with the Sharan and Galaxy. Pretty sure engines come from Germany.

I'm surprised - not a bad thing, though, just surprised VWAG don't bring it all to Germany because, well, you know what the Germans can be like  :-X
