Pischetsrieder, who headed SEAT before taking the reigns for the entire group, is confident that the company could become successful again with the introduction of several new models including the new extended Altea people mover and a possible replacement for the imported VW Fox.
VW lacks a decent entry-level model that could compete against the likes of the Renault Twingo and Ford Ka, and this is a gap that SEAT could fill. Unfortunately, VW is already looking towards China for its next opportunity in this arena.
