SEAT lets the train take the strain

SEAT by Train from the Martorell Factory to the Port of Barcelona The building of this project started in 2005 -  a joint venture between SEAT and Autometro – as an innovative way to transport cars from the factory to the port, and has made a big difference to the traffic on Catalan roads in that time, taking more than 20,000 lorries off the roads and racking up a big saving in SEAT’s carbon footprint. Throughout 2008 the rail link transported cars on twice daily runs on double-decker carriages over 400 metres long, carrying more than 170 cars at a time. Try doing that on the roads!

And then when Europe did get the i40 they didn’t even get a saloon car like the rest of the world.

2013 Audi A3 sketches revealed

2013 Audi A3 Hatch - there's also a saloon in the gallery below We’ve already had something of a glimpse of part of the next generation Audi A3 with the reveal at Geneva last month of the Audi A3 Concept. That Audi A3 Concept – which came complete with 400bhp and a boot – was really a look at the next generation RS3 in saloon guise – an Audi A3 that will go down a storm in an America quickly realising the joys of something smaller and swift. But now, for whatever reason, Audi has decided to release sketches of the 2013 Audi A3 in both saloon and hatchback form, together with a single sketch of the interior.
