2013 Octavia

[VAG newbie]

After trying several times to upload the picture in the other thread, I've given up. So googled a bit and see if I can be lucky. Looks like I found something:

Rendered - 2013 Skoda Laura
This link shows the look of the new 2013 Laura/Octavia liftback.

(let's hope the link works....)

Man, they looks so cool and very upmarket! Seriously, if the starting price is still $24990, I think it will win a lot of sales!

we've also discussed the "lauretta" (aka baby octavia) here before - Skoda Mission L Concept.

I wish they'd release it already! Octavias already look pretty old...

Isn't it supposed to be bigger than the current Octavia? If so, it wont be marketed in the $25K range.

They are just renderings by people who have photoshop.

Then Skoda should employ these people to be their designer.

Seriously?

I'm of the opinion they should still be making the pre facelift model.... Its cleverly styled and for that reason looks good, I think.

I dont know why people expect models to keep changing - you change it often enough, it loses all its identity and before you know it it looks like a mish mash of styling! Where are peoples senses of appreciation these days?

If you want a new car every five minites, go buy a mazda.

Yes seriously! The Pre-FL looks very similar to the old generation Octavia ( a car from 1996). It's time for a new design!

And by the way, I also own the pre-FL (albeit an RS), so I do know.

here's some food for thought ..

Skoda's Chief of Exterior Design is Jozef Kabaň, who designed the Bugatti Veyron. He also worked for Audi & VW. I'm more confident with him holding the pen, instead of some internet cut & pasters...
