Skoda Gets Two Top Gear Awards

Skoda seems to be moving up in the world - from the image standpoint - as two of its models were awarded by Top Gear, one of the most important auto publications in the world. The Skoda Superb managed to get the “Luxury Car of the Year” award, while Yeti was named “Family Car of the Year.”

While the Czechs were probably out celebrating their success, Conor McNicholas, the magazine's editor explained why the Yeti has won: “The Yeti has been an instant hit with the Top Gear magazine office,” he said.

“We love the styling, the handling, the quality, the space, the clever touches and yes, the name. If you’re looking for a family car it should be top of your list to check out, simple as that. The Yeti feels like part of the Top Gear family.”

McNicholas also talked about the Superb model: “It’s in the ride, the refinement, the quality of the interior, the understated drama of the exterior – the Superb is all that, and in wagon form it makes even more sense.” He concluded: “For the well- healed or those of us that wish we were the Superb Wagon is a class act that really delivers. Don’t let the great price fool you!”

As most car enthusiasts know, Top Gear is one of the most important magazines in the car segment. The magazine is also sustained by a TV series. The men behind this show have achieved incredible success, as it is believed that it has more than 350 million viewers worldwide.
