Škoda Skoda Superb - WHAT A BEAUTY!

[Habitual Speeder]

Thanks for the reply Jim.

Skoda has improved tremendously and to be fair, their original Czech offerings (without German assistance) were innovative for the time and I believe they were also praised for power and comfort. Pretty rare that you hear those comments for an Eastern European car, unless it's a ZIL or Volga.

I'll move the thread to the Skoda forums, but I thought it would get more exposure here.

I know they build decent cars, & you know they build decent cars, but the general buying public in the U.S. has no clue about them.

And, I couldn't care less where the thread is...I was just curious.

Hmm, the new Superb follows the new design approach that Skoda makes, but sadly those front headlights don't work for me...

Even on Carspin people are comparing it to the Sebring. I personally think it looks much better than the Sebring. Strangely, I do find the Sebring attractive in a way.

That's where MARKETING comes in. And it better be damn good.

The car looks nice and all, a little korean, but nice overall

I agree with Rob here, this car offers more than its VW sisters, greater value for money

Sometimes, even that can't help...look at Mitsubishi.

It kind of reminds of the new Sebring.

To me, the hood (bonet) of the Skoda looks like it was ripped off a BMW 5er.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think this Superb is more attractive in every way, inside and out, than the Passat.

And i second that!

Judging from Tine's pics (link) it definitely looks better than Passat... Inside and outside.

Sad what's happening with Mitusbishi over in America. Seems that the latecomer always does poorly in that market.

Same deal with Audi.
