SEAT Ibiza ST (Sport Tourer) Prices & Models +video

The SEAT Ibiza ST 2011 Back in February in the run up to the Geneva Motor Show SEAT sent us details of their diminutive estate, the SEAT Ibiza Sport Tourer (ST) which bowed in at Geneva shortly after. It’s taken six months to get to this point, but the Ibiza ST is now going on sale in the UK with a starting point of £12,075.00. For that you get the Ibiza ST 1.4 litre S which, despite being the starting point for the ST, comes equipped with AirCon, MP3 compatible CD with aux and steering wheel mounted controls. Top of the tree for now at least is the Ibiza ST 1.2 TDI CR Ecomotive SE which will set you back £14,910.

Honda cutting production in Swindon again – 500 jobs at risk

Honda is cutting another 500 jobs in Swindon It’s only a year since Honda announced 800 job cuts at Swindon (which eventually was 550) and now they’re about to cut a further 500 as weak demand – particularly in Europe – sees the Swindon plant producing just half the cars it could. The plan is to cut shifts from 3 to 2 a day, which will result in the loss of 340 permanent jobs and 160 temporary ones, and production will be centred on just one production line to increase efficiency and flexibility. The Swindon Plant – which builds the Civic, Civic Tourer, CR-V and Jazz (and the Civic Type-R from next year) – has been hard hit by the slump in European sales in the last five years and, despite still strong UK sales, production levels of 120,000 cars a year – just half of the Swindon capacity – are not enough to sustain the current staffing levels.
