Just noticed both these CUPRA models are in the Car Collection screen. How to get them?
You should be able to get them tomorrow from the in game message center. They’re being gifted to everyone.

If you’re already in the game and don’t see a gift message, you can try restarting the game to prompt the message center delivery.

Oh man, the Fermetor is actually quite fun!
The Tavascan has me wondering why it was even put into the game, I hit 40mph in it once and deleted it… did the Prius come back or something?

The Fermentor was actually a nice surprise. Kudos to CUPRA on that one.
However, the concept… why? Just why? Tell me, EV fans, why do you keep insist on the developers adding more when so many of them can be out accelerated by entry level sports cars from the 90s and have the same top speed as entry level sports cars from the 60s?

Some people just love to let themselves down, it’s like a borderline personality disorder if you really want to back it up lol
I feel like I have gone faster down a hill in a wagon as a kid than the Tavascan goes.

Not an EV fan, and not speaking for them so much, but, do you mean like, why fans keep insisting on the developers adding more of just about any of the cars of all classes and types ? I mean, how many super cars do you need when they all out accelerate and beat regular cars with top speed ? And for that matter how many off road cars do you need when they all do the same thing ?
Really. This game is about variety and catering to that so everyone has as many nostalgia, high octane, monster wheel, etc. or whatever “feelings” when playing as the devs can cram in. So just go pick YOUR favorite cars, trucks, whatever and enjoy them. Does it really kill you that others find an interest in vehicles that you don’t ? Chill, you’ll live longer and have more fun

To be honest, it does. I really don’t like where the car industry is going, and I don’t think very highly of people who do like where it’s going. Also, I’m a natural born pessimist. I find I keep my sanity more if I go into everything with low expectations. That’s the secret to living longer. 
Heads up before this goes too far off-topic: the discussion here is about the two CUPRAs specifically, not the entire slate of EV cars or the industry or the car addition process. These discussions do not need to be rehashed in every thread, and we have the Suggestions Hub for car wish listing.

The Formentor is fun to throw around!
Do wish there were more Audi engines to swap or was that a license restriction? An RS6/7 V8 TT would have been the cherry on top!

Not derailing at all – just saying we expected nothing from the Tavascan, and we are still let down by it, now we have to get it out of our inventory.
We are giving feedback, I and a few others felt the car was not worth implementing and I would love to be able to downvote other cars listed that I feel are as equally worthless as the Tavascan, but I can’t share a opposing views, so you get to hear about it – twice since the thread was blown out

About the two new cars: Nice additions, though they’re probably going to go unused in favour of other cars (mainly the Macan)
I like the design direction of Cupra and thus welcome any addition of the brand but in terms of performance they are both lacking. It was clear they won’t impact A800 in general but even in comparison to other SUV Heroes they fall behind quite a lot.
The Tavascan being EV has the typical PI issues of EV vehicles and the Formentor just lacks the punch. The 5 zylinder engine simply isn’t PI efficient.
Many of the SUVs (I think all except DLC additions) also received the PI buff via rear tire profile size which both Cupras do not have.
I understand the PI system is too complex to expect spot-on balance but I wish PG would at least get consistency into it.
