Skoda Rapid price and equipment prediction (?wish list)

[VAG newbie]

And the Octavia is bigger than a Golf....
Therefore the car we are seeing here will be Skodas Golf/Focus/Corolla competitor and sized as such

Yes, I agree size wise is Golf/Mazda3/Corolla/Focus. That was my point in the opening. But mechanically, it should be more Polo than Golf is my prediction. Just like Octavia is a Mazda6/Euro size, but uses Golf component, and Superb A6/A8 size and uses Passat components.

I expect Skoda will use the same ideas as the US market Jetta - so expect a beam rear axle etc to keep costs down, hard dashboard plastics on base models etc.
Engines will probably mirror the upcoming Mk7 Golf. 1.2TSI, new 1.4TSI (no supercharger), sprinkling of diesels etc, maybe the new 1.8T for the RS model.
