    Yeah I have heard they have stopped building the RS altogether until May when they will start putting these out.

    I am not a huge fan of the new Octavia front, and while it looks better on the RS, I like the proportion of the old front better I think. Looked tighter, not so big.

    Hopefully should be some good run out specials on current models soon Might belooking to get one.

    Yeah I do prefer mine, was one fo the reasons I got mine earlier than planned as the new front lights just look wrong. Good luck finding many now, they stopped making them and the stocks are on the low side here.

    Although mine isn't an RS, we did the same and bought earlier than originally planned to avoid the new front end - not a big fan. Looks very similar to the epica.

    I definitely agree with both of you, the front end has lost it simple yet good looking eastern block appearance and gone all curvy. And good luck trying to find such good deals as were offered recently on current RS stock. Very happy we bought ours early too.

    Count me in as fan of the old front end look too - the new lights look too much like a Nissan or something, and the top of the new grille surround is too "heavy" as well. All up, the old looks much more coherent and understated (which is what I prefer) than the new. At least they didn't meddle with the rear too much

    She's beautiful,

    wait is this based on the MKVI Golf GTI or still the MKV?

    I like the old look as well-but I like the slightly more powerful engine, the slightly better fuel economy and the slightly lower new model. I think I'll keep mine though-and we're waiting for the Fabia VRS for my wife. Assuming she can wait that long for a new car that is.
