    I wonder just how many Octavia RS have been imported / sold in Australia???

    I would love to know exactly how many RS octavias (all specs / options / models) have actually been sold in Aust since the first model in 2007...

    They are just so rare, that it makes me wonder...
    You know, allowing for ones that are now wrecked (sadly), how many were sold, and how many remain on the roads.

    Just my idle mind I guess....

    I reckon more than 50% of all Octavia's sold.

    Me too. Way over I reckon.

    I probably see 10 octavia's a week.... I would say 7 of them are RS's

    Just depends where you are.... driving around the northern suburbs I see plenty... also in gosford where I live.

    Not all that many regular octy's though.

    In my travels further afield, I see plenty of non-rs octy's though.

    I can help you track down four of them:

    - one of my brothers has a brand new vRS Octy
    - another brother has a new Octy TDI
    - a guy a work has a vRS Octy
    - another guy at work has a Octy (think its a 90TSI)

    Really?! They're everywhere, here... It's like a plague!
    Also, in Sydney it's nothing but 90TSI's.

    I think the other models just blend in with the traffic. The vRS is more in your face with its big wheels and bright DLRL s.

    In the first few years I heard something like 70% of all Skodas sold were the RS. I still see more RS' than mid-spec 118s or 103s and I can totally see why.
