New Octavia ....when? How Much?

Alto Skoda has a new sign in window stating "Octavia RS is here" (or words to that effect). They haven't had one to drive since they sold their first demo within a week of it arriving. It sat in the window a while but now they don't even have one on the lot.

Not particularly surprised. I managed to sit in the Blue RS Wagon when they were released and that was it.

It is better than it was about 10 months ago. They had a Caprice sitting in the showroom - and a couple of Fabias. No Superbs and no Octavias. I think they had 1 77TSI Yeti.

Barbagallo in Perth when I went in and possibly still now have had four to six on the floor with one leaving the day I popped in for a hello... Maybe they're selling non ordered/shipped versions off the floor

Silver with those wheels looks beautiful!

I think the RS wagon looks best in silver but my last car was a silver Subaru wagon so I just wanted something different this time. That said, if it turned up in silver in error I'd take it home and not be disappointed.

Anyone else twiddling their thumbs waiting for their car to be built? Personally it'll be nice to track it on the water with some reliable ETA dates :\

i've seen two trunding around in canberra - a white one and a blue one.
they're not customers on test drives. must be ex-demos.
both wagons too, with std 18s.
don't appear to be tech pack versions.

Can't be tech pack ones because that's what causing the hold up for most of us, but there is a smattering of standard MY14 launch cars w/o driving mode and a couple of of them with it. A couple got loaded onto boats early June which I assume are black pack dealer/customer orders.
