Autocar - New Skoda Superb: we've driven it

[ScoobyChris]

Sounds interesting. I see they're also looking to ditch the PD engine in the Superb and replace it with a more refined common rail unit....

[jonny boy]

Now that would really live up to it's name.

[Royston]

Sounds exactly like the spec of the Passat R36 then....

[Leon-y-k]

pheaton workers working on it too! sounds promising:D i want one! lol:rolleyes:

[Octygone]

Wish I could afford one .........will have to put up with mine for now

[VRStu]

Lets hope it turns out to be the car we'd all like it to be.

[SJFISHER67]

Gimme Gimme Gimme - NOW!!!!!!

[vRSLen]

Could just be my next car

[daz51]

think of the power to weight aspect though, probably no quicker than a octavia vrs

[Goochie]

And AutoCar is such a great reliable source for hard facts - its nearly as good as Auto Express.

Dont get your hopes up chaps!

[seano47]

will be nice car that if all goes to plan about time they done a superb vrs

[gilesk]

I want the estate, but is that not going to go head to head with the passat?

[lozgti]

Hatchback .......excellent!

That would be a really tempting car.Really like the current one but a normal saloon boot made it so less practical than the octavia.

Will need a rear wipe though!

what about this

UPDATE: 2008 Skoda Superb Scoop Images

[vRS Carl]

hmm i may have to get one of these then if it is indeed a 4x4 300bhp car

[Swirly182]

The first link says that 1.4 turbo engine will be going in it.

[Tech1e]

the 3.6 4x4 will be the shame chassis and spec as the R36 Passat flagship which is still awaiting launch atm, cant see VAG letting Skoda have thier flagship spec at a cheaper price tbh.

I read a link on worldcarfans that said the new superb would be available with the 1.6 FSI engine:eek:

Also got funny pictures of a "mule" - looks like a cut and shunt octy:rofl:

If that was true, how about the Audi RS6? Yes, I'm aware it's got a million BHP but I'll bet it weighs over two tonnes.

Someone's going to own me with some stats now, I'll bet...
