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

Top Gear | Final flicker for Skoda's hot hatch

Price; £12,995

did you guys see this?

and one more exterior shot

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).

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...

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.

Height-adjustable passenger seat?

Height-adjustable passenger seat?

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

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.

I very much like that, looks very good indeed.

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.

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

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 !
