MY11 Octavia

[Comegetsome]

Hi,

Is there any truth to the rumour that all MY11 Octavia (standard and RS) will come with SATNAV as standard. MY11 apparently commences with June 2010 build. Are any of the dealers aware of this?

Where did you hear that? If so, that'd be pretty darn cool!

From a Skoda dealer from a recently issue product release. Dealer mentioned it would be a major selling point over VW.

But doesn't the money go to VW Group anyway?

Oh awesome! I must admit that is quite an unusual move, especially for the base Octavia, starting at $25k, but whatever they want it sure adds alot of value! But could they PLEASE make the 17-inch alloys standard on mid-spec (2.0TDI/1.8TSI) models, makes them look so much better (for what is a $1k option too)!

I remember my dealer complaining about the prices being too high and he said that a fix was on it's way, maybe this is it? This, I feel, is where Skoda takes off in Australia (touch-wood). Two months straight of Superb Combi ads in Wheels magazine! A new Sydney dealership, Trivett Skoda in Blacktown (not that anything's there quite yet). New product, good luck to them!

Yes, it's true. A mate has an RS on order and was told the other week that it will have satnav as std (some other minor stuff too - can't remember what)

It's not the RNS 510 equivalent however but the RNS 310 equivalent so smaller screen, less features, no hard drive etc.

My dealer has confirmed that anything ordered after 30th June will be MY11 and will have SATNAV as standard on the RS which is what i have just ordered (again , but thats another thread).

After reading this thread and worrying my car will be delivered with a crap GPS unit, I spoke with the Skoda product manager for Australia & he confirmed that all MY11 Octavia RS's will have the Columbus 30GB HDD GPS unit as standard equipment.
This is after I spoke to my dealer who was unsure as to what the word "Columbus" actually referred to... That was comforting...

My dealer has confirmed that anything ordered after 30th June will be MY11

so it depends when the order was put in.....not when the car is going to be built!?!?
i.e.:-
- ordered before 30 june, built after 30 june = MY10
- ordered after 30 june, built after 30 june = MY11

if that's the case, then i may not be able to re-negotiate my final price as i ordered the 'columbus' as an added option.
