Newbie here. I'm glad to have found this great online community. I'm hoping to learn more from the other members here. Cheers!

Hi there, welcome!  Doubt there are any Skodas in Florida though, what do you drive?

Hi, Superb170! I actually drive a Subaru XV. Yup, no Skoda here in Florida, unfortunately. Though I'm still interested to know more about this ride. From what I've heard, it's a tad magnificent. Too bad we wouldn't be seeing it here in the U.S., or at least that's what they said last December: http://jalopnik.com/bad-news-everyone-skodas-not-coming-to-america-after-a-1789824382. I still hope the higher ups would change their mind. I'll replace my Subaru with a Skoda if the wind changes.

Yes, a shame that the brand hasn't made its way to the States as the Superb and Kodiaq could sell really well there.  I suppose there is already the recent VW scandal and the fear of the not knowing how a European car would perform.  Hopefully things will change some day.   If you're ever over in Europe, make sure you hire one as I think you'd be very surprised!
