Here's mine 😂

 

 

And the wife's 😂...

 

Official pics of the estate look ok but haven't seen anything of the hatchback yet.

The photo's above are rumoured to be official, "accidentally leaked" on the Czech Republic online configurator.

This is the superb hatch (flipped to have in same orientation). The pics above are pretty much identical, except around the front. I hope that come Monday we can have genuine pics.

I think it's clear by now that those online configurator renders were more mix-matching features of different cars rather than the actual mk4. The front end of the actual car just revealed is clearly different and thankfully much better looking than those:

Also noticed the diagonal "strenth line" at the side (and bottom) of the car is different that in the renders. In the actual car it sits slightly higher and doesn't "touch" the sideskirts when it dips down at its end:

I see from Autocar that the RHD version has had the parking brake and bonnet release moved over to the right in the conversion unlike the Mk3!

 

The stereo looks out of place with the capacitive buttons on the left but at least they're going in the right direction.

Small but welcome steps in the right direction 😁

Congrats, that's a good looking car! What colour is that?

It looks nice. Definitely looks a bigger car than the mk3 from this angle. 

 

Not overly keen on the wheel design however. They remind me of the wheels on a 1990s Ford Granada. 

The colour is Grey Quarz.

Very nice Cris! Congratulations!

 

What's it like to drive compared to the MK3? Is it quiet?

Much luxury interior and definitely very quiet

Interesting to see the MkIV. Here in Denmark we don't have it yet. The Skoda website hasn't even announced it yet. 

First pics of my new car, collected yesterday. Love it! 🙂

Something very Volvo-like about that rear, looks good!

It's the same in Norway.. Why is it taking so long? Look over to Sweden, where customers already get their cars! Lucky you @Anders74 😄

Thanks @Core2Duo There were only a few new Octavias available, and my dealer had none so he had to get it from someplace else. I've had it for 2 weeks now and am very pleased with it! The car definitely feels more premium than the MK3 Octavia, and above all the seats are much more comfortable. Furthermore, no kangarooing or hesitation as of yet and the 1.5 TSI engine feels more eager. Now I just have to get used to finding my way around the new Columbus with hardly any physical buttons

It looks great, is it Titan blue or race blue?

I am in doubt in color and Titan blue looks so different depending on the ligth of the day

Thanks, Edu! It's Titan blue. Almost one year on, I'm still very pleased with the choice of colour
