New Octavia ....when? How Much?

Spotted the ad too. Seems we're in the target demographic...

I'm 25, what's their demo? I'm getting the RS Combi but not having a family. It'll be for all my gear, I'm a photographer. And they're sexy.

My wife who drives our Octavia saw the vrs ad last night as said "wtf since when do Skoda advertise??"

Does anyone have an idea where the reversing camera is located on the RS? I don't think it will be concealed within the Skoda emblem on the boot like the Golf. I have searched the WWW but no luck finding an image or video.

Does this look right?

Looks great...

I can only imagine how good the RS 2.0L unit is. The 7 speed DSG in the Octavia is definitely better than the 6 speed DSG in the Jetta (less laggy, and changes up and down faster in and out of corners).

Wheels magazine got the same 0-100 time out of the 132TSI wagon as what Skoda quote for the RS TSI wagon, so it must be a good thing.

Yeah, it seems the RS TSI's 0-100 is more around the 6.6 mark. Whatever to keep the GTI guys happy :P

Have you heard this for certain (on non-RS models) ? Haven't read it anywhere ?
