2017-08-17 19:07 | Rinspeed wrote For example (same problem for all engines until 2015): 1.2 TSI 105hp you had put end of engine in 2017. But it's not good end of engine is 2015 with a new engine 1.2 TSI 110hp after 2015. Same for others engines. And i think it was the same problem with the Rapid and the Octavia. And also the Yeti. I will do the Yeti but not the Rapid and Octavia at this moment. Oh I understand now. I just took anything that was listed still in production and ended it. |

2017-08-17 18:41 | I dont know what you want from me, like the engines were still "Since ____" instead of year range? |

2017-08-17 18:21 | I thinj it was the same problem with Rapid and Octavia (but i don't have the project to them soon) |

2017-08-17 18:20 | JFK you had "closed" in 2017 the car but you hadn't verify the others engines since the begining of the car (and there is some) |

2017-07-30 21:12 | JFK wrote Citigo should end in year 2019/2020 without sucessor. Let's hope so, it looks identical to the Mii, so there really is no point in having them both. |

2017-04-29 23:32 | Its not called Yeti anymore, but Karoq. But for the main picture: Yeah it has some very very minor similarities but i would still say its a chinese car disguised as a current gen Geely Boyue and not a Karoq. The only similarity i see between german and chinese spy shots is the D-Pillar where some sort of black spoiler can be seen on both. -- Last edit: 2017-04-29 23:38:19 |

2017-04-18 21:35 | JFK wrote Rinspeed, I just want to clarify something if the year of engines and production dont match/confuse you. Only one car was produced with automatic gearbox, but after year of testing the gearbox wasnt very reliable, so Skoda switched it for the manual gearbox. no problem |

2016-09-03 23:34 | speedfreak975 wrote I think that I read somewhere that this will make the Volvo look extremely expensive , so what I understand it's a good rival that's cheap ? I don't think they compete with each other. Kodiaq is a cheap way of having a lot of space, XC90 is luxury and safety. |

2016-06-24 15:37 | One of the most confusing and mysterious car from Skoda. It is possible that this car (or similar one) was produced in 1988. Hopefully this workhorse made in Česana was saved by one enthusiast. Other ones from series were scrapped, it is unclear though how many there were made (up to 8). EDIT: I forgot to mention what makes the car so special for people that arent familiar with Skoda Pickup - this is long wheelbase. -- Last edit: 2016-06-24 15:42:14 |

2016-05-28 00:53 | Desscythe17 wrote Okay, so it's basically a sss-sound versus a shh-sound. Also, if the company would be called Skoda in the Czech Republic that would be rather unfortunate  Yes, word "škoda" does have multiple meanings and neither of them are good, "damage" or "shame" |

2016-05-28 00:00 | Desscythe17 wrote No, it's fine. I don't know the Combi Tour, was it the old Octavia Combi produced alongside the newer one? Yes, but with only few engines available |
| Desscythe17
2016-05-27 23:57 | JFK wrote Octavia Combi Tour is its spiritual predecessor I belive. Rapid/Rapid Spaceback is a reason why Octavia Tour/Octavia Tour Combi isnt produced, because Rapid take their place in market. If you dont like it, I can change it, not a big deal for me No, it's fine. I don't know the Combi Tour, was it the old Octavia Combi produced alongside the newer one?

2016-05-25 22:36 | JFK wrote VW Group lost its barriers for not breaking a tradition long time ago. I feel this is the right time to show you this funny 1980s promo for Skoda from Netherlands. Rapid seems like some sort of special NL-market version, maybe you would like to add it That's actually an interesting commercial. The title and the song are "Wie slim is, rijdt Skoda" which means "Those who are smart, drive a Skoda". You can actually see the current slogan, "Volg de Skoda rijder/Follow the Skoda driver" has its roots in this old slogan. I'll translate the text on the cars as well: #1: De sportieve : The sporty #2: De zuinige : The fuel-efficient #3: De betrouwbare : The reliable #4: De rappe : Can mean both quick as well as cool -> By the way, car #4 looks like its front bumper is already falling off in the commercial. #5: De ruime : The roomy I don't know if the Rapid is a special edition, but I can look it up. EDIT: Can't find anything about a special edition for the Netherlands, I did however find the "Favorit Solitair and Favorit Silverline", which both had different taillights from the regular Favorit in their pictures. www.skodamuseumnederland.nl/pages/sub/3/36228/pagina_2.html -- Last edit: 2016-05-25 22:48:57 |

2016-05-25 21:47 | Well well well well well, what do we have here? If this will go to production it will be a first 21st century Škoda, that I really, really like! The color really suits it aswell. |
 | JFK
2016-04-15 19:47 | Give me some time to find out if the production ended (and if yes, when). EDIT: After some research, I found Greece catalogue that shows post facelift Ocvavia in all pictures, yet they are still listing GT as a car in production. I suspect them that they made this only for a year, because I couldnt find it anywhere on Greek used car sites. -- Last edit: 2016-04-15 20:07:11 |

2016-04-15 19:33 | Desscythe17 wrote Are you sure this counts as a concept car? Isn't it just a test model by Skoda? Yes, since the whole project was cancelled at the last minute and Roomster II will be not produced. |

2016-04-03 22:36 | I saw that in person, alongside with BAZ Furgonette (Škoda 120 Panel van, only 4 produced) and Trekka Pickup. Lot of space under hood (it opens forward), this car is a car mechanic dream. |
 | JFK
2016-02-07 22:07 | Mainly for export, it have slightly different design - cooling flaps in front of doors, different bumpers that are semi-unified with body, and in inside it have stickshift under steering wheel, opposite to 1101, which it have on floor. |
