mmmmmm.... no thanks. Glad I got the current series RS. It certainly is a more cohesive package.

Wait till the new vRS!

New Current vRS TDi DSG just launched in Aus too

Its trying a bit too hard, that and it looks like a holden epica to me...

[MJKooLio]

Don't say that!

That is NOT the Octavia...
It is the new Superb.

Are you being serious? That is a mild redesign. It is the same car with a different face.

Either way, a face only a mother could love.

Maybe I'll get to like the new headlights.................................(eventu ally).

Certainly I'm feeling no buyers remorse at this stage (of course it is slightly possible I could change my tune if they make the 260hp engine and 4WD available in the new vRS)

[MJKooLio]

This is the new Octavia! What you talking about anthony???

Hmmm... Might have to retrofit the rear light cluster and the wing mirrors. Maybe the steerng wheel from the new vRS when it arrives...

Reckon the rear lights are the same size?

I reckon it is a huge improvement in looks over the current daggy one.

In the blue in RS trim will actually look like something I'd buy.

See it here as well.

the face lifted front looks like ass! i like the current one so much more

[MJKooLio]

ass .

The light looks identical so I would be surprised if they were different. They would have to re-tool all the back panels to make em fit.

Current 'daggy' one looks the shiznuts over this. Even in RS guise, I predict failure. The current isnt revolutionary or outlandish, but thats why it works. New one is trying to hard to go down the all too contemporary too big for its own good headlights styling route. Leave that to the Koreans.
