ŠKODA MISSIONL CONCEPT 2012

ŠKODA MISSIONL 2011 Skoda has taken its place on the floor of the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, and Volkswagen's Czech arm has brought a new concept sedan along for the ride. Called MissionL, the crisp but conservative Skoda four-door concept is an almost-ready peek at the upcoming production model.

The Skoda MissionL is expected to slot in the lineup between the Fabia and the Octavia, models North Americans know best Volkswagen Polo and Jetta derivatives. The automaker plans to launch its MissionL first in India, with units arriving there by the end of 2011. After that, Skoda will provide the MissionL to markets in Europe, Russia and China sometime in 2012.

Skoda is using the MissionL concept to provide hints at the styling direction for future Skoda models. These new models are stepping stones that the automaker will have to land on as it attempts to hit a heady 1.5 million global sales by the year 2018

The brand will also expand production in Russia through the Volkswagen Group's partnership with the Russian-based car manufacturer GAZ Group. The GAZ plant in Nizhny Novgorod will start producing the Yeti in the fourth quarter of 2012. In India, Skoda will start production of a brand new compact sedan this year. Also, the brand remains focused on its traditional markets -- Europe and the Czech Republic, its home market. Beside the Fabia and Octavia, Skoda's main plant in Mladá Boleslav will produce a third model; the brand is already increasing the capacity of its production lines. Starting in late 2012, Skoda will also manufacture the automatic twin-clutch gearbox DQ200 in its plant in Vrchlabí.

skoda was starting to produce good cars, renowned for their toughness and good price performance tag.

But to change the place of production to lands with "approximative productions" will not help the cars to stay as qualitative as they are today. I'm disappointed of Skoda. I was planning to buy one in the 2013, but with these news, I will search another builder. If I let 25'000 euros in a car I want good quality, not russian vodka drinking craftmanship.

И чем она от октавии отличается? Пора бы давно уже обновить октавию до более современного дизайна, а они новую машину выпустили с кузовом октавии.

vychází zřejmě ze starého modelu rapid, ale ten název je prostě divný
