Reckon you'll be seeing any of them on the roads?

People will buy anything these days. They don't look too bad, albeit somewhat conservative. I like the Octavia, not so much the others. The Yeti looks interesting though. Seeing as though Fiat are selling their cars, maybe Skoda have a chance, though Fiat will be introducing their 500 soon and that will be a quirky looking Mini Cooper competitor. Even I want one! I'm more interesting in the Americans sending in their muscle cars though.

Yeah we will I think, there's no really terrible cars these days, so there's going to be a number of selling points to suck people in.

No terrible cars except the Proton Savvy mind you, that things fucking evil.

Haven't seen any of these on the streets in Australia but I've driven the Octavia RS (think it was a 1.8 turbo not the 2.0 that is here now) - it's only model available here I really rate apart from the Wagon) and it is pretty sweet.
Obviously there are similarities with the vwagen Jetta but all in all not too shabby

VAG engines, parts, can't really go wrong with that! Should be far cheaper than standard VW/Audi

Still haven't seen one on the road.

The only times I have ever seen a SEAT was as the car prize on the old The Price is Right.

When did they pull out? I remember seeing them at the '99 motor show
