So the 110kW diesel pulls 0-100 in 8.5sec. Thats the specs on my vRS TDI...

Lets hope they put a 130 or 140... 150(? )kW TDI into the vRS model!!...
If so, I know what my next car will be.

so ...if I understand correctly...the EA888 motor will be no more??

shame...I really like this motor...

Stumbled across this video today showing a glimpse of an "RS" Octavia. I presume they are referring to the blue Octavia with the black rims and what appears to be black body trim on the lower edge of the doors? Maybe RS? Maybe not?

... I want to see the wagon.
No, I NEED to see the wagon.

... That thing looks mean...

Liking the look of the new RS. IMO the regular models look very boring. The RS looks great.

VRS Wagon ( though with hidden elements)

That is one incredibly boring vehicle. Finding a Skoda salesman awake to buy one from will be a task and a half if that's what they have to sell.

Ditto - I guess they messed up and got too close to other VW models, had to reposition and diferentiate the product (dam it!)

And removing a small amount of colour coded tape is going to substantially improve or change the overall shape of the vehicle? If that really is the new wagon shape you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference from. 2007 model in traffic from the side or rear unless you get a really clear look at it.

You've got a point there!!

Yes, I will be keen to see the finished product, but so far it hasnt caught my attention sadly.
Looks very old...especially in the yellow from the 2007 models...

Perhaps these are just red herring pics designed to throw us off course?
I sincerley hope that is the case....
