New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[readerr0r]

Have new orders now moved beyond week 22 mid May builds yet? I would think so. Would Skoda aggregate orders for a July build so soon after? If so great but I am surprised. Thought they would be more spaced out.
Would a July build be a MY15?

Build week 22 is actually the first week of June, due to factory holidays. Its also the model year change over so yes anything beyond it is MY15.

Its hard to say if people who ordered before now will get built straight on Wk22, but here's to hoping

Its been 99% confirmed that there will be no manual diesel RS available to order at launch

I thought there will never be manual diesel RS available in Australia or are you saying at some point dealers will accept orders for them?

At the time of that post the RS hadn't even launched yet. There is no manual RS TDI

Is this Moon White?

That's silver or a badly done photo.

Moon white is ... whiter

Moon White with Black Pack

Can someone post a comparo of Silver and the Grey? Australian spec? Silver looks dull..... in photos

Sorry here is a photo. Plus a bit of info: this guy bought the car, drove around the Swiss Alps for 400kms and drove at 4.3L/100kms! Mainly highways.

Thought I want LED headlamps, the color is nice!

Very similar to the Golf GTI Carbon Steel Grey - one of my fave colours. The pics posted so far of the Octys in the Metal Grey all look quite different though, I'd really like to see it in the flesh (so to speak). That and the Moon White...

Wish we could get the Rally Green. Love that colour.

Anyone looking at an Octavia RS could do worse than shopping on the Central Coast. Some Sydney dealers didn't want to budge an inch from retail. I've done much better. These guys really wanted my business and I'm happy to give it to them.

Deposit down. Race Blue. Leather. Tech Pack. Auto tailgate. 18" Black Pack. 162TSI manual wagon.

6 months in a $1200 Corolla to fill the gap should help me appreciate it.... The Octavia RS beats a GTI (owned a MkV previously), new WRX (pig to drive in manual, much better in auto but head room too small in premium pack with sunroof), Renault GT220 wagon (availability of a demo poor), Mercedes A250 (poor value in comparison and too sanitized to drive) and also drive a Commodore (mediocrity), Cruze SRi-V (7/10 the car at 6/10 the price but controls all too light), Kia Pro-Cee'd GT, Hyundai Veloster (too small), and even a Hyundai Santa Fe.
