Wont the tech pack cover most of those options?

The car may end up around 55+K

Would be stunned if it is over 47K with tech/black pack. Heres hoping.

Same, base price is tipped to be cheaper than before (it was 39,990 for a manual petrol liftback).

I'd be expecting about $44-47 driveaway depending on how much is standard.

Yeh, but I don't think anybody actualy paid that. $5 k discounts were there just for the asking.

The release of the new Octavia isn't really setting Skoda sales figures on fire.

December 2011: 653 sales
December 2012: 116 sales

September 2013: 281 sales
October 2013: 311 sales
November 2013: 332 sales
December 2013: 241 sales

January 2014: 220 sales.

Outsold by Alfa Romeo. Ouch!
Nearly outsold by Opel. Double ouch!

Yeah not so much stock about, I think with the Rapid coming and the other updates this year things will change very quickly. Doesn't help if there are less dealers than before, we need another in the SE Melb that's for sure.

I think I read that they are only selling floor stock of the Superb & aren't taking orders? Also most Yetis for sale are 2012 build. Neither could be helping sales.

Remembering how old the Roomsters were when they sold the last (3 years) & if there is old Yeti & Superb stock it explains their desire to only bring in orders.

Too much competition, badly managed by VW Australia and not enough advertising in the right places. I love my vRS but doubt I ll buy another the depreciation will be a killer if they join Seat and Opel.

Remember both the Yeti and the Superb have new models coming so they wouldn't be wanting to bring much more outgoing models in when everyone will want the new ones.
