  • I think it's time to sell the vRS

    Sitting in a restaurant in Richmond (Melbourne) today for lunch 5, yes 5 Skodas drove past. Every one was a Octavia Wagon. 2 x FL Scout, 1 x FL vRS, 1 x FL Ambiance (? Highly spec'd) and 1 x FL base model.

    I think it's time for something less common.

          Oh yeah. Never thought of that.

          Of course if I really want to be different I could buy one of those Yeti things that are the top selling Skoda (according to Skoda who must employ the same counters as the Tasmanian Cricket Board) that nobody ever spots.

                  If you were in Swan St then its not so surprising you saw so many coz you were too close to Zagame's Skoda dealership. Go elsewhere for a proper reality check, just not Zagame's Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini or Lotus dealerships lol

                    No I was not in Swan St and No these were not mechanics on test drives. I live in Melbourne I purchased my car from Richmond I'm not the complete moron that you seem to think I am.

                        Yea there are very few wagons for sale second hand at the moment whereas there have been lots of options for liftbacks over the last few weeks. I guess it ebbs and flows.

                              In Sydney i see quite a few Yeti's. A handful of Octavias. Never seen a Superb and I can only remember seeing one Fabia.
