Audi at the Paris motor show 2008

By Ben Whitworth Motor Shows 02 October 2008 16:52 Audi’s sparkling new A1 Sportback – a thinly camouflaged version of its 2010 A1 Mini-basher – as well as its frugal A4 Concept E and a rather large trophy were the highlights of Ingolstadt’s Parisian offerings this year. In essence this follows on from the Metroproject that Audi unveiled last year. Slightly bigger in five-door guise than the Mini, Audi is keen to play on the A1’s practicality as well as its aspirational qualities.

Finance rates confirmed for fastest Seat ever

SEAT HAS announced finance deals that should see its fastest-ever car leave the showroom at furious pace. The entry-level Leon Cupra 265, so named for its count of horsepower, after a £1,000 deposit contribution from Seat, could be yours from £265 per month. Over 36 months, the 4.9% interest deal is fully flexible, and the monthly payments can be reduced with a larger deposit if buyers have something to add to the £1,000 leg-up.

Mazda6 preview

Mazda's redesigned Mazda6 (known as the Mazda Atenza in Japan) will make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. The new car is an evolution of the original model's front face, bringing forward modern design elements and smoothing out the features for a more streamlined and aerodynamic look. With pronounced front wheel arches and simple shut lines, the car continues along Mazda's styling theme first seen on the Mazda2.
