That's with the seats up and the luggage only as high as the seat back. It's nearly 1600L with the seats down and fully loaded.

An A8 drove past me in the Harbour Tunnel yesterday... LED headlights.
My god they were sexy.

I'm waiting until I see a new Octavia in the flesh and in some clear (and official) photos before I judge its looks...

No, the thing is if you look at the current model Octavia it's a style of it's own (which is great), but sadly the new one inside is vary much previous model Passat, and the style is a bit too much Jetta. It's a shame, is the current model is just amazingly appealing

No automotive or other large company is EVER going to confirm that a vehicle or other product will be released to some random who rings from the other side of the world. Matthew Wiesner who should have some idea has said a vRS will be available in the new model about 6 months after it's released and I would actually put more credibility on what he says than a receptionist in Germany.

Sorry mate, but first of all you have no idea whom I spoke to so please don't jump to conclusions. To explain it you, I've spoken to my uncle who works at VAG in Germany at the Skoda Development Department. And this is what he told me, so I don't think he's just a "receptionist".

"...A sporty-trim ŠKODA Octavia RS is also in the pipeline." This was taken from Skoda's international website. Here is the link: The new Å*KODA Octavia: a class of its own - Å*KODA

Again, it pays to check your facts...

Such clean, sharp lines! What a fantastic looking car. I just hope the interior feels better than in the Rapid.

Oh, you're just biased!

If the Rapid is priced correctly (and I can convince my mother that either RON95 or diesel is acceptable (most likely to be diesel)) then it'll be her next car!
