    If that will be the new front, I'm sorry but I hate it with a passion. But looking at the photo, it still has quite a bit of taping on it so hopefully they'll come up with something nicer then this

    New Octavia Driven!

    I understand there's a need to keep a family resemblance but this Skoda front end looks positively last millennium

    The back end looks even more dated.

    Can't they add a bit more flair to it?

    I agree, this looks so much like the earlier generation....not very progressive.

    At a glance the back end is very similar to the not so new C180, and C200 Mercs.

    Hard to tell, but the sunroof looks squarer at the corners and perhaps a little wider. An optional panoramic roof on the new Octy
    perhaps?
