Here are some pics of the 2013 Octavia

what do you think ?

I think that paint option will be quite expensive and not very popular.

Weren't those photos posted two weeks ago? Enough of the sedan, where is the wagon?

It will be popular where the driver is often near speed cameras

Is it me,or those it look almost identical in shape to the existing model ??!!??

It won't be popular where the driver enjoys a drink/spiff before his drive home

If the size of this is going to be the similar to the Superb, does that mean the Superb gets discontinued ?

I think it is going to be moving nearer to the Superb but just far enough below it.

If you want to look for it, Johann (900000) recently posted a video of a lightly disguised Octavia being driven on the public road.

Damn you for showing this, I wish I waited for the Octy 3 now. Wonder if its too late to cancel my order.

Do you know if tarnished red will be available in the UK?

Remote NW Scotland you say?

Work has begun on Alex Sammonds pro-Scotland battle bus

But you'd have an 18 month wait for a VRS version

Er , he was being ironic,( tarnished red)/

The daft thing is they could not made it more, hey look at me if they had tried, if they had just painted it cappuccino or something, most would not have noticed

Here is Johann`s post http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/253447-the-next-octavia-nearly-undisguised-in-a-video/

Looks just like an octy II!

Looks like they might have ditched the dustbin lid wing mirrors they stuck on the FL mk2, which would be a major styling improvement. Only problem is I've kind of hot used to the functionality of the massive mirrors now - had to reverse my old mans 407 last week and first thing I noticed was the wing mirrors felt tiny all of a sudden......

Big mirrors are alot better! Got into a 07 octy the other week and they are tiny!

It sounds like a 5 pot at about 14/15secs...

Wasnt that the mic picking up the sound of another vehicle? Looks like it goes well.

I don't think so, if you watch the cars movements as you hear the sound, the pitch of the exhaust changes with the gradient of the track...

Not sure if its the wheels, but it looks too long and the wheels too small.
