[oneightoo]

we need more 3 wheelers..

How's that look like a Volvo front?

like this... just different headlights IMO

[bornwild]

Only similarity there is that the front grill flows back in a V-shape to make up the bonnet.

Though, the Volvo bonnet isn't restricted to this V-shape.....quite different really

[Wraith]

mmmm, interesting...

They do seem to be good value for money and have nice mechanicals, but I really don't like the look of them...

It always comes down to that for car entusiasts, it can be a good or great car, but if it's just plain fugly, you'll never own one...

well in my opinion, volvo was the initial reaction my brain came to when i first saw the picture

even the side lines and window and roof line curves look similar to me - but that may be just me

Check it out in RS trim

[rjastra]

Its actually based on the Golf/Jetta chassis If i am not mistaken the Sedan is actually a hatchback.

The AWD TDI wagon would be good for all you ski-bunnies

The RS Wagon would be a good Liberty GT wagon competitor.

I think it says somewhere there that the AWD option is to be added later on

i like Skoda (personal choice) even the Roomster. So far all Skodas released have been on my choice list. I drove few of them and they are a good quality cars.

Just noticed that Skoda is back...and bloody good!!!

They have some serious value here! The Octavia RS with a 6sp Manual sets you back only $37k!!!! The 2.0TDI with 6sp DSG at $36k!!!

EDIT: All cars covered by a 3year/unlimited km warranty, now that's the shit

Thats good value. Mate of mine has one and I can attest to these being very nice wagons!
