New Octavia ....when? How Much?

Found an interesting tidbit from Briskoda too. Cars made from BW22-34 will get the Flat-bottom wheel, but it'll be missing the little RS badge. In Germany they're offering free retrofits when they're available. Considering most of us are expecting a July build lets hope something similar is in place for Skoda AU. It looks like a pretty easy swap (I think the lower chrome V pops out) so I imagine if you complain to your dealer they'll be able to work something out.

I actually prefer it without the rs badge, though i'ts not a big deal. I just want a build date!

How hard can it be to get the cars built with the right options? Is the factory modular?

Spoke to my dealer today. I added front parking sensors with my order and he confirmed that that option is no longer available. :-(
Still no build date either.

I think front parking sensors can be done after delivery? Just need to find a set that will work with the car system?

Its pricey and easy for people to mess up the install. They have to drill holes into the bumper and spray the sensors, plus it'd take way, way too much work to retrofit the park assist 2 system.

It was easy back in the day when it was just rear sensors tied to a buzzer but the new OPC ones are tricky.

What model did you order?

I'm still waiting on the dealer to get back to me about the sunroof addition! Surely its a phone call to skoda AU to check the order status, then modify if not in scheduled build? That's all it appears to be in the UK i'm not sure why it's different here. I'm adding to the order, not taking off, so more money for them!

I will make sure it doesnt affect sensors etc as we optioned the tech pack with acc/sensors/park assist and am keen to have them all.

Nice to see the Octy take another gong

Nice. I might see if a build date is any closer to being confirmed via my dealer. Not that knowing it will make it arrive any sooner.
