      why not get all the opportunities to blame everything on the big bad german right? ffs, as if skoda doesn t have an history of seriously bad designs.
      the new Seats look stunning, the next yeti has been seen testing and its a tiguan with a skoda front, heck, why would they even released the kodiaq, but doesn t matter right? why blame on the brand that has loved quirky designs since forever, lets all bark and join the worlds favorite hobby, blame germany (and i m not german btw)

    Quick question. Is a similar face lift (face down actually ) on the cards for the superb as well ? If yes, then when can it be expected?

      Should we expect the next line of BMW to be rubbish? The guy apparently did the Veyron (amazing car but the exterior design was kinda dodgy) and the new Skodas that turned to be more and more awful (Octavia 2 with facelift was the best looking). It's like he realized he ruined the design of the brand and abandoned ship. Meanwhile the latest BMW although some seemed bland were nice to look at and definitely better than the old Bangle design (except the 1 series, that was bad and now it's shit!).

    • @vrs2011man

      What's awful about the Octavia 3, new Fabia 3 and Superb 3 and Kodiaq? Sales have gone through the roof in virtually all markets, and the Superb is stunning. It's also not just about looks, the quality is class leading too, scaring the so called premium brands.

    Dear carwow you named your video "2017 Skoda Octavia - how have they made it even better?" you should have named it HOW THEY RUINED IT! Look at the comments, the percentage of disgust is shockingly high! It's even worse than the new Ghostbusters!
