Not a vRS but I understand we may be seeing a 'Sport' badged Octavia in the very, very near future.

To be honest the 2.0 tdi with sports suspension is quick, lots of fun, anyone else driven one with sports suspension? Although I like the sound of 2.0 FSi Turbo, pref with similar output to an Mitsi Evo, 330 bhp would be loverly!!!!

If you speak to Skoda UK they will tell you that their is a new vRS coming out and this is around November for preordering {this is what they told me when I called them up} However all the women would give away was that is looked very nice and that their is more information going around but not on public release.

Salesman I spoke to said there would be 2 vrs's, one a 180bhp diesel and an over 200bhp petrol. He said they would be 'fat and lairy' (is that good or bad??) and be available in Dec. Said he had seen pictures.
