  • I'm pretty certain at this stage that my next car will be a the new RS wagon. Can't wait for it to hit our shores.

    Anyone have any idea on where the pricing will sit? Any chance of getting in one under $40k?

      Its unlikely it'll be more than the current one, since thats the trend VWA has been setting, so expect about $42-44K driveaway for the DSG version. Standard kit should be good, though I'd be saying those crazy black and silver mags are options.

      • They'll do their usual thing & price the new model excessively high for the early adopters. They'll maintain that price & twice a year have a sale to reduce excess floor stock.

        Occasionally they'll find a vehicle that somebody has forgotten about & they'll sell that for ridiculously cheap money.

          Hopefully I can pick up a demo under $40k, or maybe even a used one that comes up really early... I really don't mind buying near-new. Let someone else take the depreciation hit

                  I reckon that grey would look awesome with gunmetal or shadow chrome wheels. Photoshop someone?

                  • that grey isn't matt coloured, but it looks good in gloss

                    also love the black roof and black wing! doesn't look as boring (the wing) when its that colour.

                    • Sorry the grey just doesn't do it for me. Looks like primer with a clear coat.

                      • I think my Dad had an FB Holden in that colour grey with a milky salmon pink roof.

                        I don't mid matte grey (the Velosters look great) but that Skoda looks like primer + clear (thanks Twin Dad, I couldn't put it better) & therefore a bit of a bet each way. Maybe it's better in the flesh

                          Speaking of which, the veloster is also available in the primer-esque grey, they call it Battleship. I've seen one at night with it and it looks fantastic, hoping it suits the Octavia in real life.

                          • Yes, we have a battleship Grey Veloster with white racing stripes in our suburb. It looks good & I don't think it will look dated in 5 years time.

                            • That grey colour reminds me of an old bloke that lived down the road from me many years ago. He was an ex-Navy guy and managed to get hold of a load of surplus battleship grey paint and not wanting to to waste it, painted his entire house with it!

                              Yep, battleship grey is a great colour for, well... battleships!
