Skoda is on a bit of a roll these days. Even though all they did was launch a couple of sedans, we can't stop thinking about them because of the cool factor they brought seemingly out of nowhere.
This is the all-new Octavia, which is based on the new Golf, is much bigger than the new Golf and depending on the market can be a lot cheaper than the new Golf. It might just make you say "Golf who?"
Right now, they're rolling out the car across Europe, with plans to introduce the Combi shown in Geneva as well. The commercial they're using to blast the Octavia across all channel is this one, "Amazing Everyday". So we wondered, quite naturally we might add, what's so amazing about the Octavia.
Simply put, you won't be able to find a sedan with more room for less money. It's huge in the back as well, over 500 liters of space which is the biggest boot in its class. The other thing we like is the technology. As far as we know, there's a VW-sourced touchscreen on every model and digital radio as well, which is amazing.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
