Not feeling that I'm afraid :sick:

It just looks very awkward.

Not to bad but nothing special and prefer the looks of the current Octy. If anything its looks a bit like they've got a picture of the rapid and press enlarge on the photo copier lol

Is this on the same platform as the Passat/A4/Toledo?
Cos it looks like it's the same car with different jewellery.

I think it is the new MQB platform which underpins the new A3 and Mk7 Golf.

Interior's very nice, but the exterior looks like the barstewards offspring of a Rapid and a SEAT Exeo.

Rumours have it that there will be AWD versions in 2014, so if there's any interesting engines to go with that I might take another look then...

I think the most interesting engine wise will be the 2.0l TSI.

AWD octy with the 2.0TSI sounds interesting, especially if it's a VRS as it'll be a good alternative over the golf .:R

I think it would be a bit close to the .:R.

Possibly a 1.8TSI with 4WD.

The normal range of Octavias always look clunky i think, but its better looking than the current model IMO.  I reckon once the vRS trimmings get put on it, then it will be a very smart looking car  :party:

Im hoping they bring out a Rapid vRS which looks like this:

will be interested to see the new vrs estate, as like the rs4 avant i think the estate versions of these cars are more "Q" and have more lasting appeal than the saloon version
