NE Octavia models at Redbook

Brochures are the most reliable usually, all 9 standard colours are listed on page 21.

10 colours on the unzed skoda website including "3 exclusive VRS colours". I'd be surprised if Skoda Oz don't land with the same.

(halfway down this page it shows them all in itty bitty wagon form if you are lazy)

Brochure is better cause it shows that Platin Grey was replaced by Rio Red.

We will probably get all the colours for the RS, maybe not Sprint Yellow though as that was discontinued here for the previous RS.
Edit: Whoops, it was never discontinued in Aus

Personally I'm all for steel grey

that's incorrect!!
where did u get that from!?!?!

sprint yellow has always been, and still is, on the RS pallete for the oz market.

will they make it available again for the mk3 vRS - we just gotta wait and see.
considering sprint yellow is one of only three exclusive colors for the new RS, i don't see it being omitted for the oz market.

Sorry dark, you are correct. The colour selection on redbook is incorrect for the Wagon RS, which is what I was looking at. It'll probably be available here as well, though I'm still undecided about it. Some pictures it looks great and some it makes the car a bit big and sparse.

I found the Skoda New Zealand website by accident the other day, they have pricing and all that even have the vRS listed not like the Aussie site, here is the link

Å*KODA New Zealand - Å*KODA

Skoda NZ is NOT managed by VW NZ, hence they get to pick and choose whatever options r made available, std equipment, and pricing.
It's a shame Skoda Aus don't get that privilege cause of big brother's (vw aus) fears/insecurity!!

Yeah its been up on the NZ site for a while. At least their price of $47K suggests ours will be fairly cheaper than that, theirs is very well specced to, I know for sure that we're only getting 7 airbags in the aus RS vs the Elegance's 9

Interesting to see 3 pedals are a special order only in N.Z. Comparing prices the RS is $8K over the "Elegance" . Their dreaming if they think they ll sell for that.
