New Octavia out soon....

[TiG]

As i tend to do, now and again i pop back to the skoda website to check things on my car, technical details etc. Today was an arguement with my dad that there was no 2.0L Turbo octavia tho he swears that he's seen one.

But what did i find, only the fact that the old style octavia is on its way out....

To be replaced with this New octavia

Not convinced as yet by the look and there are no VRS type models it seems as yet. The 2.0L 150bhp one won't be around till 2005.

I guess there might be a VRS later on next year, but i'm looking forward to getting a look at one of them in the flesh to be able to compare them to my car.

Like the look or not people?

Not too bad imo.

Looks a bit more like the Superb now, and a bit less like the Passat.

They should really keep the vRS though!

looks pretty nice, seems skoda have finaly shaken of there bad name

does any one know if skoda will be using the fabia or Octaiva in the next WRC?

[gobbo]

Think it'll be Fabia

[Jiff Lemon]

Not convinced on the look - the whole front looks a little too big for the car.

[Zak33]

doesnt it look like a Lancia Dedra?

[Lowe]

Not liking it

Hopefully a VRS version will harden it up a bit...

Not bad, but it looks really huge?

If you know what I mean. :S

They have to do something with the 180bhp lump.

It was a sad day when Nissan stopped using the 150bhp 2l black top out of the touring cars in their road cars. Hopefully Skoda won't loose their classic engine either.
