New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[ddre78]

Dropped into a Skoda dealership today to get some info on the vRS. This car was probably at the top of my list but when quoted Dec delivery for a Wagon or July+ for Sedan (Im after a sedan), all I could do was laugh and leave. Very disappointing that a brand trying to build itself here would put potential customers through such crazy wait times. Im simply not prepared to wait that long, so ill have to look elsewhere.

a) What on earth makes you think that Skoda is a brand trying to build itself here? They've had 7 years to extract the digit & not too much has changed. I'm one of the early adopters & they haven't done themselves any favours (or more to the point, VWA haven't).

b) Dec delivery on the wagon sounds reasonable based on everyone elses wait times (inc those in the UK). July+ for the less popular sedan? WTF?
