Well here it is... NEW Skoda logo & design concept (new Octavia) from Geneva!

[phaeton]

New logo is good

Vision D is plain (front) and ugly (rear) - design circa 2000.

[SKODA vRS147]

I like the logo - but maybe colour code it to the car.

Would love to see a yellow one - LOL

That's a good idea Skoda vRS147. I have seen a few Subaru's that have badges where the backgroung blue has been changed and matches the main piant color. I do walk by a dark blue WRX on the way to work that has a pink background badge which does make me chuckle every now and then.

I'm guessing its the STi badge, hence being pink.

Well actually . . . I don't mind the D . . . except for the headlights. The badge is okay too . . . interesting idea about the colour coding. You would think that Skoda Australia would update their web site to match HQ wouldn't you. Are they afraid of competing with VW?

They won't update it (the logo) on the website yet because the cars get the badges next year .

Yes it is an STi now that I took the time to look, lol. Have gone off Subaru's since I ordered a Skoda! I have also seen a green and a yellow background ones as well, so I would assume some one else apart from Subaru are making them available. Color matching Skoda badges would be good and something a little different for the brand.

I hear that Skoda have a new advertising campaign kicking off on the 13th of March. So it will interesting to see whats ads they come up with. I finally saw the Volkswagen ad on TV tonight. I suppose I don't need to watch it off the home page anymore lol.

Fair enough . . . can't help noticing though that overseas sites have been updated . . . okay I admit it I'm impatient . . . just hate to see good cars not getting their due credit . . . I still talk to people who don't know what Skodas are, or at least remember them as "those Russian things" . . . marketing has been big in Adelaide because of the bike races, but Sydney has the biggest potential market and we hardly hear "boo" in Sydney . . . oh well mine arives soon . . . well soonish

Hopefully they update the whole site and not just the logo. There seems to be a lot more detail on the overseas sites. I find their isn't much detail on the Australian site about the accessories that are available. I have hit the overseas sites to find out details about the accessories. So hopefully an update isn't too off.

I think they may have been confusing Lada with Skoda. My late father told my son once that Ladas had heated rear windows so you could keep your hands warm while pushing them.
