Was there a SEAT version of the 127?

Front end looks just like the Evo, but the rear is different, now I look again - the one Isaw yesterday was definitely an Evo X as I was behind it and could read the badges, but that had a hefty wing...

This is a Fiat 127 -that grille was on versions sold here in the mid-seventies, I think - not sure about the year though...

Yes indeed. It was very popular as a street/housekeeper car.

it looks like this EVO X is a 5 door hatchback, which never seem to do well in the US. As and example , I noticed the new mazda 6 no longer comes in a 5 door.

In that spirit, I offer the following:
