I can't see it completely clearly, but it seems to be metallic blue with dark blue accents. In this case it's a Sat.1 family special edition from 1996, advertising the TV channel of the same name. Wow, this was loaded: "As further standard equipment it comes with a Sat.1 fan package containing 250 DM (125€) of entertainment memorabilia, including a plushie, a backpack, a fan book and audio tape for Kommissar Rex, a tape for "Hallo Onkel Doc" (another series missing on here) a movie book of Fantaghirò, and a Sat.1 beach ball and Rubik's cube, plus a CD-ROM with a route planning software and even four tickets to a SAT-1 production." ![]() But now the 100.000€ question: what's it doing in a ZDF show? -- Last edit: 2021-03-30 21:07:22 |

I don't think it's that edition, the alloys are definitely not there, I also think it might have flat black bumpers, though not sure this was even a possibility on a Toledo this late. |

I haven't found any other facelift Toledos with such bumpers. But you're right, it doesn't have the alloys. Everything else seems to match though. 25:30: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxdqnU4TcnE |

Never knew this edition. Here we got the "Moonlight" in 1996 with that colour and same wheelcovers, was there something similar in Germany? Anyway to me bumper looks painted ![]() -- Last edit: 2021-03-30 22:21:55 |

Neither did I know about it, but I hated the Toledo from the start and successfully avoid watching commercial TV - perfect qualification for my contribution here: I think it is that outlandish edition. And this is how the average SAT.1 family presumably treats their cars, if the common stereotypes are anything to go by... The two-tone paintjob in "Pazifik Blau" and "Marengo Grau" (hyphens were too expensive) appears to be an exclusive feature and apparently black bumpers were beneath Toledo's dignity. Maybe @AleX_DJ knows if there was another, less malicious special edition with that paint scheme? If that episode was filmed during the winter season, the alloys might have been in hibernation, along with the beach ball and the plushie. What Italy received as classy "Moonlight" edition, was filled with contemporary SAT.1 shelf-hugging junk and poured over the awkward German SAT.1 viewers - totally plausible, if you ask me. ![]() |

Name doesn't require quotation marks, that makes it look like a nickname. But the edition itself does make sense when you look at how the VW hierarchy was split up: VW was the flagship. Audi was the luxury division. Skoda was carefully crafted cars at affordable prices and Seat... Seat was at the time, the low-end brand of VW. Unspectacular slightly problem-prone low-priced cars for anyone looking to get a handful of value in the 20,000 DM range. The quiet kid in the furthest row that never said anything and just nodded and raised his hand with everyone else. After Bernd Pischetsrieder took over and introduced the Toledo II, he transformed Seat into a brand full of Spanish passion and emoción like an Andalusian stallion. The Inca was axed, and more radical forms have taken to the roads since then. -- Last edit: 2021-03-31 17:48:27 |

Well, I have the feeling that the clientele seems still the same, even if the quality became higher and the currency is Euro. Everybody who wants to drive something sporty around here drives a Leon FR - so it's one of the most common cars here and there is just one Seat dealer... The Leon 3 might be a good car as far as I can say as passenger for a week, but the fond is flatter than in a A1 Sportback!! Whatever, nice find! |
