er +49 is the country code for Germany? That code's for Austria. Gotta say though, the cabin looks great and the DRL, have that 'Skoda' look.

Looks very nice

Interior looks pretty nice with a bit of red.

was on skoda.de last night. the seats are leather/leatherette and can be ordered in black/red or black/grey. they are also heated with rear heated available as a cost option

That looks spot on.

 

If anyone ever thought/still thinks that Skoda is a toy town/cheap brand this certainly disproves it.  

 

Looks like a premium product equivalent to a Golf GTI in my eyes.

Oh Christ i'm even more desperate for a test drive in one now. Its coming time for the Passat to move on I think.

On www.skoda.de   the options list looks quite extensive! Lets see what UK skoda offers both as standard and on the options.... it will get quite expensive.. notice that they are not offering the 19" Alloys??

Am sure you are right but didn't understand a word of it via that link...

 

Why can't everyone just speak English (lazy/ignorant Brit mode here).

Its doing nothing for me, Maybe its the color??? The seats looks nice and thats it.

Sorry I am using google chrome and it translates automatically to English... I lived in Germany for 11 years and my German is not that good!

I like it because it is not gairish and in your face.  Nice subtle touches hint at the power on offer and drivers 'in the know' will realise the potential on offer and what kind of car it is.

 

A big, fast and capable estate which will easily carry a family of 5 plus dog - what's not to like?

 

I've had my Blackline for 6 months and it is great - if this one is better, as the press/reviews all say, this will be a front runner for me when change comes in 3 years time, just praying for VAT off deals in 2016...

19" will be a dealer option in Germany.

The vRS doesn't show up on the Configurator when I do it??

These are the only options...

+43 is Austria

On the Italian configurator it does show up, but only as a spec, otherwise it just looks like a heavily lowered base spec car with steel wheels.

You're Scottish...how can you complain at people who don't speak English? A couple of my mates are from Aberdeen, and I only understand them when we decide to speak French to one another!

Unfortunately the page on the opening link has been taken down. Oh well roll on launch day on Wednesday

A bit naughty of them releasing those pictures as the official launch day is at Goodwood on Thursday.

Just found my first fault with the car. The head rests are fixed, that style is no good for me as my head is at the top part of them.

I think the worst part of the seat design is that they're huge! For a family car, you're going to have people in the back and they won't be able to see anything towards the front.

Mmm..... not sure I fancy trying to keep those wheels clean!

You could always change them for Golus, they are sooo easy to clean, I can even get my hand inside to clean the inner rim!

Looking at those pics, I think it is fair to say that the days of a vRS being based on an Ambient spec with big wheels and a spoiler are long gone!
