2013 Octavia

[gldgti]

The Pre-FL looks very similar to the old generation Octavia

Given that they are both octavia's one would expect so, surely?

I think the old old octavia had a good look - its got a characteristic style that gives it identity. The original octavia II also had that identity, which I think was largely lost at the front end with the facelift.

At least those original photoshops by whoever made them still has that characteristic octavia look - the one in the vido above, I would say, has almost done away with it, in my opinion.

I guess my whole point is this - some car manufacturers totally lose the identity of a model by changing its looks - as though to try and win over people with style and not substance. I just think it sux because a particular model only hangs around for a few years nowdays and becomes completely immemorable once its gone. 10 years from now noone will say "Oh remember the facelifted octavia II from 2009-2012? Gee that looked good!" - 'cos we only had it for 3 years and then they sold us another car instead.

I guess I'm old fashioned.

Ha Ha...don't know if its just me watching raw seafood dining on youtube and bizzare foods or does the front end of that octavia 3 look a bit like a Fugu Blow fish? LOL.

kind of looks like a new camry with old camry headlights to me
