same car, new paint

don't think so - the front grill is different. honeycomb (last year) vs slats (this year).
unless ofcourse they reverted it back to the original stock grill.

rego plates are the same & I can't see anything special/custom about them.

Maybe they went back to stock grill because people wanted to buy the honeycomb & it wasn't available?

buggered if i know really.

That honeycomb grill is not that great anyway, I have seen a better version on superskoda.com - the one shown above does nothing for the Octavia, much prefer the slats.

Personally, I like the new colour scheme better then the old

That orange is a lot like the Euskatel Euskadi cycling team colours. IMHO they had the best looking support cars in last year's Tour de France. I reckon it's a straight brand recognition crossover thing: get the footy lads and bike nerds in one hit!

More orangey goodness:

I wonder what sort of sponsorship deal they're getting from carsales. Would be nice if they could get some extra brand presence on the carsales website.
