Skoda Yeti Availability?

[woofy]

I think SKoda are targeting their market, I have seen the Skoda ads in most car mags, and they are active around in the community, particularly cycling, there are more than a few people here who have bought from due to that.

The rest is word of mouth, the cars are good, the dealers can be iffy, and HQ is losing leads left, right and centre. I've lost count how many times you hear nothing back from them. Despite what VW HQ think, sometimes the first point of call is them via their website after someone has gone looking there, and fobbing everything off to the dealers is lazy.

I should say though, if I had the money, I would buy the cars off the whingers in here, so you would never have to post yet another rant about whether Skoda will stick around. I don't care if you see 2 Skoda a week, when I bought mine, I didn't see one for months and I thought that was good.

Yeti availability

Just read on an Euro autoweb about waiting times for Yeti. Skoda underestimated sale success of the car and as a result waiting times blew up to something like three months. So not sure whether Yeti is going to make it here in Oz this year. I am afraid they will not be too keen to price them that well either. Superb Wagon is rather popular too, even though to lesser extent and there are waiting times too.

Article in Drive that the Yeti is due this year, but GoAuto indicated a Q2 2011 launch date.

The latter article has has other news on a DSG for the Scout and an entry-level Octavia.

I asked Skoda corporate and some dealers. Dealers all said next year but Skoda corporate day it's this year - 2010.
I also agree with above, they would be mad not to have it at the Sydney motor show in October.

I have a followup - an source has all but confirmed to me yeti to appear at motorshow. Never used this source before so reliability unknown but I am hopeful given the 6 month wait for a configured tig these days.
