That looks nice, gota say the sedan looks like a dog. Reminds me of a holden cruze

The Spaceback looks awesome. If APR can do good things with it, I'll definitely be thinking hard about it in a year or so when I look at getting a new car.

Agreed. Saw this on the Skoda Aus Facebook page and was amazed by the overall aesthetic. Nice to see some modern looking Skoda's. Maybe their sales will improve in Australia as a result!

Is it just me, or if you look hard at photos of this car, the profile of the rear lights almost looks as if the back quarter of the car is straight from a 6R Polo? Just look at the shape of the body panels around the rear lights.
