    Well that's what the interweb claims, however there are plenty of other makes using the RS badge, Audi Q & TT RS, Porsche GT3 RS, Renault Clio & Megane RS, just to name a few.

    I have embraced the "V", I think of it like the Skoda version of the BMW M badge. Some of the older models just had the "V".

    Or maybe the UK sales department was confused by the Czech accent.
