Octavia vRS Mk3 Pics - They're finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bobski]

Damn. Now I want one!

[PassatB6]

Agreed, looks great.... But I don't think I'll get another one.

Had my DSG serviced / recalibrated today big bucks... and got a quote on resale... Not a great figure.... Almost halved in 3 years!

You'd be lucky to find a car doesn't halve its value in 3 years. Get an extended warranty and your right for 5 years. I'm definitely looking at the new Octavia to replace my 2 1/2 yr old Scout.

OMG, I love it!!!

Love the wheels also.....look very damn easy to clean.

I'm in love with that blue!!!

And I actually prefer the new sedan over the current model....but for me, the wagon wins hands down. Now, anyone want to buy a 10mth old Mk2 vRS wagon!!!

Yeah, Tell me bout it man! I've been lookin...Not much out there!

I had extended dealer warranty, then the dealer closed Down so not sure what happens to the extra 2 years.

I might check out the new C45 amg when it arrives... Claim it against my business and put a BIG bubble on it, fingers crossed I can afford it, my accountant reckons its a smarter option, my missus thinks I'm a hoon!

If not, I'll get A mk3 octy for sure! The more I look at it the more I want one... I wonder what the 19" black race wheels look like? They are mentioned on the netcarshow app.

The wagon is stunning.

I wonder if there will be a Performance model of the Octavia like the Golf GTI... LSD + bigger brakes.

The vRS in the pics. is the "GTI" version of the Octavia, has the same motor running gear as the Golf GTI. Although I believe there will be 2 versions of the Mk VII GTI.

There's no "GTI-point-two" of the vRS... only +10bhp anyway.

the white wagon... But in that blue... In a manual +awd = foshizzle!

+100000000000!

Yup, the new vRS is power capped - the GTi has an additional 7kW......similar to what it is now - 147 vs 155.
One has tune A, the other tune B.

BTW.....That link provides a good read on the new vRS.
