Skoda is developing their cars independent from VW. However they can and do access the VW parts. So they just take their platform, engine etc and design and develop their own cars around it. With the Superb they were so good that reviewers said it was better than the Passat. Much better. As a result VW fired the Skoda boss. If they would have just rebranded that wouldn’t have happened…

As they position VW as a premium brand that would make sense. They could use Skoda to go against Ford, Toyota etc. ie. offer the Fabia for 70+k against the Fiesta and Vios. The Octavia can go against C segment cars but offer D segment space. That can sell rather well. Since the parts are all shared between the VW models it would be easy to service and maintain, it could also mean that it is more financially viable to extend the SC network of VW, thus making both brands even more attractive.

They should also bring in the Roomster. Currently there is no alternative in that segment in Malaysia, as Renault doesn’t offer the Kangoo here anymore. It is also much better looking.

It is common to offer a car with engines from 60 to 200 HP. You spend more, you get more. But if you want to save there is always the entry level engine. You can also to a certain degree mix and match specs, so you could have a baseline engine with almost all the options ticked, for example. Only in Malaysia they prepare packages and offer no choice.

Which would be a good thing, because the opening is bigger that way. Easier to load up.

Clean and simple lines have more lasting appeal. Hyundai’s fluidic design is starting to look old.. but still not as bad as Alfas.. they tend to look obsolete 1 month after coming out of the showroom..

The current Jetta has more similarities in terms of platform, interior design, exterior design, power train and engine compartment with the Golf VI.

Current distributor simply do not offer adequate efforts to promote Skoda. Having a reasonable price Skoda in diesel guise certainly will help the Czech brand.

Nothing like Toyota. I encourage everyone to buy Toyota. Eventhough UMW’s charges are exorbitant and it cost more to maintain a Toyota than a BMW, I fully urge you to buy Toyota.

Clean, simple and handsome exterior and a neat interior. minimalism at is best. And unlike previous gen Octavio, I see little (there is but little) traces of Volkswagen. GREAT JOB SKODA.
