2013 Skoda Octavia Launched

[ausspace87]

The first interior photo (way up top) appears to have a brand name logo on the tweeter inboard of the mirror. Looks a bit like a Bose logo. I wonder if there will be a high end ICE option in some places? There also doesn't appear to be a slot for a CD/DVD in the dash or am I just not seeing it?

Skoda are offering a Canton sound system upgrade on the new Octavia. The logo you see on the tweeter is Canton.

Thanks.

Doesn't mean anything if Skoda Australia decide not to spec that feature here. Mirror fold is standard in NZ and has been for years.

Likewise the active cruise if Skoda Australia don't spec it then it's no use to anybody here.

geez.....a man can't get excited these days!!!!

until the fat lady sings (when skoda oz reveal the specs for the australian market), let me enjoy the moment.

If it's excitement you want how about the whisper I might have heard that the new vRS will have the TTS 200kW engine with AWD.

Tell me again why we need electric folding mirrors?

Narrow car parking spaces and fat people.

I'd love folding mirrors on my next car! Ideal for roads where you might think people will ding your mirrors and for smaller parking spaces.

Fat people? Well yes if they're walking between cars in carparks but wouldn't their fat Absorb the mirrors?

My 2010 Kia Sorento had them. They were great.

With the top spec Mazda 6 climbing in pricing here I wonder whether that means the RS will climb as well, or drop to be competitive. I'm betting climb. I've had the Focus ST in mind as my next car in 2ish years time, but another RS hatch might be replacing our current one instead having now seen them.
