Has anyone seen this???

 

 

:think:

 

The $64,000 dollar question is what will Skoda replace the existing Yeti with in 2016? Yes, the 7 seat model will suit those needing more seats and space but I fear that the replacement for the existing Yeti will follow the trend of each successive model growing more bloated than the previous. Skoda need to replace the existing Yeti with the new one having the same overall dimensions and resist the "make it bigger" syndrome which infects most car manufacturers when they bring out new models. The Yeti is the "right" size for a compact SUV.

One of the biggest attractions is the compact size of the current model, together with all the fun it incorporates, and a whole lot more! PB

There was a centre page write up todays The Sun aswell with a very favourable write up (I don't buy The Sun, I was sat waiting in the Indian for our dinner)

There was also a picture of several Yetis parked on some grass spelling the word Yeti. Wonder where they got that idea from :wonder:

 

Not sure if the photo was from the National meet though as seemed to be a picture taken from directly above.

I had a heads up that it was in the Daily Mirror today as a friend was closely involved with its creation so I purchased a copy.

 

I chose a shop where I wasn't known and went suitable adorned:

I see, you bought the Penthouse magazine from the Top Shelf then put the Sun Newspaper inside it and went to the check out, did not want to be seen with the Sun Newspaper and climbing into a Yeti

Thanks for the post Macdemon. We need people like you with at least one eye open to inform us down-under lot, otherwise we would never get to read such newspaper articles.

Anybody actually read the article and spot this:-

 

Fitted with four-season tyres, the Outdoor is remarkably good off-road and will do almost anything you’d dare to try.

 

As far as I know the Outdoor isn't fitted with four-season tyres!

You're welcome banjobach, as long as you offer me free accommodation when I 'pop over' for a cheap holiday.

Er, how do you know THEIR Yeti wasn't fitted with "4 season" tyres?

Obviously I don't but the sentence seems to be implying that the Yeti Outdoor is fitted with four-season tyres as standard. Or perhaps it's just me?

Not just you as that's how I read it as well. If the testers wanted to really prove how good off road, I assume they would have fitted full winter tyres.

 

Or, as I suspect, Skoda UK fitted those tyres before handing over to the testers, and perhaps testers "assumed" they came as standard.

 

Can any new FL outdoor owners clarify please?

Perelli P Zero's on our FLYeti Outdoor. They don't say anything about 4 seasons that I can see.

Guys - there's a word missing from the start of their sentence - a technique in English if my memory serves, known as "understood" - and that word is "IF".

 

It then reads "IF fitted with 4-season etc etc" - and then, hey presto, it all make clear sense.

Imagine the lengths you'd have had to go to if it had been in the Mail!

Looks like Skoda UK could/may have fitted them then, to get a more favorable review.

 

Sounds a bit like when Jaguar released a road test of an (apparently tuned) version of the E-type to the motoring press at launch, to confirm it reached the magical 150mph. In reality no customer versions ever achieved this......close though. Still the best car ever to come out of the UK.

 

Also, I am not sure why some members are embarrassed to be seen to purchase/read the Mirror or Sun. 

 

The wife likes the Sun's Saturday TV supplement with all the soap gossip, and I always enjoy Jeremy Clarkson's regular Saturday column.

 

I am certainly not too proud to buy The Sun (on Saturdays), although it is not my choice of daily reading material - that privilege goes to the Mail, as indeed I suspect many others on here do, but maybe not admit to.

There is also a road test in todays Yorkshire Post

Yes I can see that, but maybe "When" and not "If" would have made more sense in the context of the article........"When fitted with 4-season tyres etc". 

 

The testers must have had 4-seasons fitted, otherwise they could not have known for a fact, that the Outdoor shod with same ......."is remarkably good off-road"

 

"If" used in this context, implies a possibility, whereas "when" implies it actually happened.

("If" definition - used to discuss the imaginary result or effect of something that did not happen or that is or was not true).

 

Just saying mind!

(smiley inserted as do not want to court any controversy).

Never buy the Sun, simple reason is because I support Liverpool FC.- Enough said.

Looks like it - could not delete the "quotes" when editing. Must be a way.

I think there is but the 'how' escapes me right now.

Edit. There is the possibility to hide the post on a desk/laptop
