Was that really Sienna Miller? I mean, I know that she's been on the show before and all. Also, just how did they get her head in that glove box?

hehe, anyway, I thought it was a great review
When is the Yeti coming to Australia?

Yes she was! It goes to show Clarkson can do anything he wants, pretty much

remember Kiwi that cars get to the UK much quicker from Czech Republic and that much of the delay here is transportation time.

The Yeti has been a great success in the UK and Skoda sold very well overall in 2010.

If you're the type of person to use, erm, streams of water, go grab it from www.finalgear.com

I watched it yesterday - was a good episode, and a good review. I was impressed at how fast it was on the circuit as well. Am I right in thinking it's slightly cheaper version of the Tiguan?

While it could be untrue, I read somewhere its because the Czechs like sticking it up the Germans, so they try to do a better job.

You've got it. And it is easy to figure out when you know about the demographics of the production line workers in Germany and in Czech republic.

More about VW and Czech influence. Who inspired who? Map of Volkswagen Beetle - The Full Wiki just scroll it to "Conflict with Tatra" Just in case that you don't know what the Tatra is. It is the 2nd oldest car manufacturer in the world that is still making vehicles.

I don't believe that's correct. From what I've seen the wait is 12-16 weeks just like it is here. Obviously it will vary a little though.

I noticed on a UK forum a guy ordered an RS in oct , told early jan , blown out to march/april , same as our wait when you tailor make .

Skoda are brimming with orders for all markets , UK love their reliability as does germany .
