Looks like i'll wait for more details on here then ring again

Here's what we have all been waiting for .... first 'offical'(?) news...

Top Gear | Final flicker for Skoda's hot hatch

Price; £12,995

[P2M]

did you guys see this?

and one more exterior shot

[bahnstormer vrs]

did you guys see this?

Those seats are Coooooool. and as the photos come from CZ and the car is LHD then they must be Factory Spec (not UK dealer fit).

[P2M]

This LTD edition was originally supposed to be fitted with white rims, but the colour didn´t pass the tests as it was getting yellow...

[RapidRonnie]

The seats are really nice. I'm pleased they appear to be factory fit as I didn't really like the idea of the factory making a limited edition model then Skoda UK cocking about with it.

[bryand]

Height-adjustable passenger seat?

[Mike Austin]

Height-adjustable passenger seat?

No - of course not. It's a sideways adjustable steering wheel.

[Dr Zoidberg]

Height-adjustable passenger seat?

For the limited run it's probably not worth making different sets of seats for the UK and Europe so they are both adjustible

Adjustable passenger seat is extra in Czech, too.

[Welshy]

I very much like that, looks very good indeed.

I really do not like those seats :thumbdwn: The exterior looks ok though.

Yup; white Octy RS are freely available in Europe/Ireland; its just us in UK that can't get them, unless you're Ants!

hey do you think waiting till may will be to late to buy one? surely they cant sell 1000 in 2 months can they?

[hollinworth2006]

think so. also there are no more std ones

being made. i would get in there now

OR you might be fabialess

got a letter from my dealer today with details. lists cruise. cd changer, seats and sunset privacy glass for £12.990. only 8 availiable to them. im undecided on the colour i really need to see one in the flesh and its a lower spec which im unimpressed with. mums tempted tho as she was only swayed towards an elegance as she didnt want an identicle car to me and we both didnt like any of the availiable colours other than black. in fact she made numerous calls to try and get one in blue but was blown out. maybe they were already planning the LTD.

[Wet Kipper]

I just spoke to my local dealer. Seems they'll be allocated 6-8 cars and 2 people have already reserved one. Orders will actually be held until mid march to be placed with Skoda UK.

Guess where I'm heading tomorrow with a pocket full of deposit ?

Picture is wrong !

But it means you can have the extras

Here's the full link Škoda UK - New Car Comparator Go through the pick a car list and pick the options box

[marcusfordus]

Add the extras on to the basic £12990 car price and it doesn't seem so good a car.

Sub note : I went into a Renault dealer today to collect my works van, the Mrs dropped me off, but thought she would have a glance round the showroom before going. We came out and parked next to the vRS was a red Clio sport, from the rear it made the corrida red look dull and the fabia look like a ten year old square box design !
