New Skoda

Post by campbell » Wed Apr 03, 2013 12:19 am

Makes p10 of EVO mag. Shocker!

Ok it's the ad but mark my words when the new Octavia vRS is launched, EVO are going to be testing it :-)

Lucky for us it's not available for a while yet or it could get expensive round here...

New octavia looks nice tbh - much better than the Rapid, but it's based on the Flabia iirc.

Surely a 200PS vRS derv will be on the cards?

I think Audi are running 180bhp oil burners already so my guess is it will get that.

Petrol version might hold a surprise or two with 200PS+

And they weigh 100kg less than ours. Which'll help nicely...

Crikey you don't hang about!

Will prob be a wagon again tho. If we ever change it ;-)

New estate shell looks pretty fresh.

Anyway, 11th July, it seems, at a clever location:
