That skoda should release vRS to match the new RS3.

That would be epic!

They are taking the Michael for a housewife's shopping car for £40000 !!!!

Sadly VW would never let it happen and I doubt anyone would buy it anyway I'm afraid...

Exactly. It's counter to the the brand strategy and no-one will pay £40K for a performance Skoda. Heck, who'd pay £30K for a performance Skoda?

As an example, a Superb 3.6 is about as close as you can get to an A6 Quattro hatchback and who's buying that at 2/3rds the money? Almost no-one. Because if you can afford to run a 3.6l V6 4WD car you can afford the Audi and you're more than likely the sort of person who still tells Skoda jokes and doesn't realise the joke is on you.

I do like the bmw retaliation to the rs3.

38k 3.0 twin turbo 350bhp and 297 to 310lbs !!!! new bmw m1 !

I don't think he was having a go at the Superb, just that model , which is very good value at £27000, but the running costs will be high That is why all executive cars drop like a stone in value after 5 years, because if you can afford to run one, more likely you can afford a new one .
