    No decision has been taken." Right. And nobody’s ever been quietly briefed to deny everything until the paperwork dries. 2029 is four years out — ample time for a denial to do its job. Show me the product plan. Show me the investment. Show me one Seat badge that isn’t already a Cupra in a cheaper suit. Otherwise this is just a man buying time with someone else’s heritage.
