And not so good for Seat. Sales for the VAG group also went up during the last financial crisis when all the other makers lost out and went on short day working.

Have you compared the interior of say, a Seat Leon to the interior of an Octavia ? Know which I'd have any day. One screams cheap and not so cheerful, the other, quality.

The thread was started to discuss VAG sales in this current economic climate, not compare cars.

Skoda sales comparatively for October alone are up a smidge over 10% on October last year, when most manufacturers are on the slide. VAG will be very happy campers with how Skoda is performing in the UK
