About all comments, that Škoda is just VW. So if this right, explain me why spain Seat (also owned by VW) produce 2,5 x time less cars than czech Skoda? They have same possibilities as Skoda. Explain me why country which have 5x time more peoples than Czech republic isn´t so sucesfull in car produce?

For me explication is easy. Czech republic have huge peoples capital (well technics ability) with 115 year long history with produce cars.

@jassumcelik I agree completely. some still see SKODA and the silly looking badge as a joke. If you drive one with DSG you will see how good they are and what value for money they give. Sales would boom if they were renamed VW as it is such a stronger brand name. People associate it with quality and performance. SKODA is struggling a bit because of the image of older cars before VW stepped in. The value of a SKODA also goes to between 25 and 35% after 3 years, a VW doesn't do that!!!!!

@byggholtsuger SKODA used to be a joke, like LADA in the UK. Now after trying a turbo diesel I am very impressed with the Octavia. The DSG is excellent, I wish I had tried it before. The change is fast and smooth and the economy doesn't suffer. I agree SPORT mode is clever! The SKODA represents a lot of car for your money and people are going for sheer valur for money now. That's why Ford and Vauxhall are suffering, with a lot of franchises closing down due to loss of sales. SKODA=GREAT!

@jooppac its hard to pronounce "š" for english speaking people. So saying "skoda" is helping to talk about it, but it is "škoda", it was supposed only for slavic countries but from 1990, you cant stop the expansion, and than you need internationally spoken version which people can tell, not to break their tongue over it :)

@gro082 Please dont take offence as I dont mean any. Skoda has a less established brand name than seat thus making it cheaper. VW owns 100% of skoda and therefore designs 100% of the car. VW does not own 100% of seat so there are certian things they cant control.

Skoda is also "The manufacturer of happy drivers" and more designed at everyone, seat is more aimed at a younger market. Another reason is people look at a skoda and see a vw people look at a seat and see a seat.
