Car Salesperson of the Year has us Sold: Yana, a SEAT Dealership, One Very Hot and NSFW Video

Have you ever wondered how a man's perfect dealership would look like? Well, we suppose each man has his own preferences, but we can likely agree with most of you that, fast sports cars, the latest racing games, a bar, a canteen and of course, scantily dressed women catering to all of their needs with a smile on their face, would rank high in the "wanted" list.

If you ask Russian photographer and filmmaker Alexander Tikhomirov, a racy salesperson is all that you need to draw a male's attention to a car showroom, but then again, the St. Petersburg-based artist is known for his…how shall we say it delicately…sensual work.

Seat Shows New Leon Compact Hatch, Confirms Three-Door and Estate Variants [64 Photos & Videos]

Seat is welcoming visitors at the 2012 Paris Motor Show with its all-new Leon compact hatchback, as well as the company’s redesigned logo.

Speaking about the introduction of the logo and the Leon during the company's press conference in Paris, Seat President James Muir also confirmed the addition of two more body styles to the compact model's range.

“The new Leon will be the first SEAT to wear the new logo. And, the new Leon will be a key pillar in our future success – especially when the Leon family expands to include a striking three-door version and a versatile, stylish wagon," said Muir.

The third generation of the Leon is the third vehicle in the Volkswagen Group family to adopt the firm's flexible and lightweight MQB after the VW Golf Mk7 and the new Audi A3 hatchbacks, all of which compete in the C-segment.

All-New 2013 Seat Leon Officially Revealed, 21 HD Photos, Video and Details

The new, third generation of the Seat Leon was officially unveiled today, some two-and-a-half months prior to its Paris Motor Show debut in front of the public in late September.

Seen here in five-door trim, the new Leon will also be available in a sportier looking three-door hatchback body style as well as an estate variant, with all three models to be launched into the market by next fall.

The new Leon sports a sharper look with more creases that brings to mind the IBE Concept as well as the Ibiza. Due to the fact that there will be a three-door Leon, Seat has replaced the current model's hidden rear door grips with conventional handles mounted on the doors.

The Leon is also the first Seat car to wear the company’s newly designed badge, which will eventually be used on all models.

Inside, the Leon Mk3 features a contemporary design with an instrument panel that looks very similar to the one found in the latest Audi A3. Seat officials say the materials, finish and attention to details are "at least as good as you can find in the segment above."

VIDEO: Driver Tries and Fails Spectacularly to Park

For years the debate has raged over unintended acceleration. Is it the result of a design defect or is it simply driver error? Well, this video put forward for the case of the latter as one driver's attempt to park goes horribly, hilariously wrong.

Volkswagen Group's Spanish subsidiary SEAT has released a new teaser video of the Exeo Sport Tourer which, as we informed you in a previous post, will be revealed at the Geneva Show in March. With the Exeo Sport Tourer the firm's German bosses are giving the previous Audi A4 Avant a second chance in life as the differences between the two models are limited to a few styling adjustments on the front and rear end of the car.

Like the sedan variant, the Exeo Sport Tourer will be launched with three 4-cylinder petrol-engines ranging a 102 HP 1.6-liter unit to a 2.0-liter TFSI producing 200 HP and three common rail Diesel engines with outputs ranging from 120 HP to 170 HP.

Video: New Seat Ibiza Ad takes on Finger Wagging

With the tagline ‘There can be only one driver’, Seat is this week launching its latest cinema and TV advertising campaign for the new Ibiza Sport Coupe (SC).

Video: 2009 SEAT IBIZA

Yesterday, SEAT took the wraps off the all-new Ibiza hatch at its Martorell factory in Spain. Set to go on sale in Europe this summer, the Ibiza will compete in the supermini segment against cars like the Mazd2, Renault Clio, Fiat Grande Punto and the new Ford Fiesta. For the time being, SEAT has revealed details only in concern of the five-door version, but we suspect that the Spanish carmaker will also unveil the three-door version at the Ibiza’s public debut at the Madrid International Auto Show in May. –See the first official video of the new Ibiza after the jump
