rear lights are much smaller, still have the C shape which is good! headlights could be similar to the FL 1Z.

as mentioned, i dont think there will be much different. its a VERY similar shape.

Tail lights look like the Rapids!

If somebody is really keen they could measure the diameter of the wheel rims in the side on picture then use that figure to work out the wheelbase and overall height and length and see how they compare with the current model.

I would be more inclined to think that this is an engineering drone that essentially has the new underpinnings with a current body that is then heavily disguised to keep prying eyes at bay.

Edit:
I have just had another look at the photos and it looks like a current VRS without the rear wing. If it's not and it really is the new model body I will be very disappointed because the rear hatch, doors, front guards and front air dam are virtually identical to the current VRS.

Someone should have gone to Specsavers...!

The body is entirely new, look at the bonnet shut lines, front bumper and air intake, side skirts, REAR DOOR SHUT LINES, DOOR HANDLES, DOOR MIRRORS, FRONT GRILLE, REAR OVERHANG, C-PILLAR, REAR TAIL LIGHTS, CHARACTER LINE, BRAKE CALIPERS, REAR SUSPENSION... I could keep going, but clearly I must see the world from a different perspective. Although, I did remember to put my contacts in this morning

around the same size as the new jetta perhaps? can't wait to see the new wagon!

I can't believe you guys are arguing about what something looks like when that something is deliberately disguised so that its difficult to see what it really looks like.

Please, be more courteous to eachother, children.

I don't care about this sedan.
Bring on the vRS and Scout Wagons!!

Although, a Scout Sedan would be interesting.

not arguing - we've finally got pictures to back the earlier suspicions/thoughts discussed in other threads, and now just pointing it out. ignorance/denial is no good.

even caradvice point out "The prototype’s psychedelic camouflage does a good job of disguising the car’s key styling details, although it’s clear the new model will be longer, lower and sleeker than ever before"

sure, we don't have factual figures (of the dimensions), but its not rocket science to clearly spot the differences in this car with the current model octavia. its not rocket science to connect the dots with the pics released a few weeks ago & this spied version.
