I thought it might be interesting to analyse the 123 cars showing on the Superb MK2 register topic (up to number 124 but 107 has gone awol). Sadly a number of entries don't list estate / saloon or manual / DSG or the Trim. Happy to update this analysis if others are prepared to update thier data. So far then we have:

----------------------

24 Petrol (20%):

96 Diesel (80%)

3 Not shown

----------------------

54 DSG (56%)

43 Manual (44%)

26 Not shown

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Only 3 have the V6 petrol engines - all in Elegance trim

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Interestingly 70% of all cars are in Elegance trim

Sorry for all the dots, but that was the only way I could think to show neat layout (hope it works once posted, seems ok on preview post).

For info - I have a 1.8TSI DSG Estate on order - now due early August from March order as a result of wanting the panoramic roof.

Enjoy!

You'll need a new line soon as my 140CR Combi, with panoramic roof, is being built next week.

Oops, I haven't stuck mine down. Superb Estate V6 Elegance. Black on black. :yes:

And I got my 140 CR 4 days ago :-)

Most interesting. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to collate the information.

I'm surprised the 140PD is less popular than the 105PD.

Driving a 105PD, I'm keen to know when they'll replace this engine with the 1.6Tdi CR, as per the Passat.

Next time, I'm actually considering a Octy 140 CR Elegance or Superb 140CR S.
