nobody ever orders a Skoda. They just get excited, peek through the windows & leave finger marks on the glass, then buy something else.Originally Posted by OilBurna

... and then go and buy another more expensive VAG product. VAG must be over the moon that people are debating which one of THEIR cars to buy.

Not so, I was at Richmond Skoda this morning, and saw several sales in the space of about 10min. They were overwhelmed with test drives and one guy bought both an RS and an elegance. The RS wagon had lines of people waiting to drive it, the RS sedan was a bit more quiet, but both are very good cars. Just that size of the headunit screen is enormous. The sales guys didn't realise both their demos had tiny space saver wheels in them......I don't think that is a long term thing, there was heaps of room for the full spare, probably just an oversight with the first batch. Saw the blue today as well, I think I will be getting that again. Not so impressed with the non movable headrest on the RS as I'm tall but the rest was pretty nice. The material part is a lot better than the stuff used in the Mk2. I didn't drive one as there were lots waiting and its bad enough waiting another year before ordering one, If I had driven it I know I would spend every waking moment trying to work out how to get one earlier. The extra rear legroom in all of them is worth noting.

Went in for another look. Anyone got the official word on the price of the tech pack? I was told $3300 (same as elegance), but that really can't be true considering the RS has Xenons and a few more things standard and only adds Reversing Camera...
Sounds like a place holder price to me
Full breakdown here, but no price.

Dealer sent a price list to me which had it at 3,300 too. I have queried that as there is significantly less included. No response yet.
Based on that price list it should be $1,812 + 60% of the rrp of the rear camera.

Yeah i suggest anyone ordering the RS to include a clause about if the tech pack is cheaper they have to drop your contract price accordingly. Pretty safe to assume they would when Skoda AU properly announce it.

I was told 2,900 something which if it included the reversing camera seems about right. Good enough anyway.

More like 2K
Good suggestion.

How do you come up with 2k? Xenons are priced at 1.9k as a separate option. What was a reversing camera priced at on the mk6 Golf? I am sure it was more than. 0 dollars.
