Tag Links: VW, Skoda, Up!

Many have expressed how impressive the UP! (in all it's many guises) looks at this stage, and that it might well return VW to its roots as a true "People's Car", but I recently ran across this photo showing a 'badge engineered' Skoda version (possibly) planned for other markets.



Personally, I feel that VW needs this vehicle in their line-up, and should (at least initially) keep it a VW exclusive.

I say NO to the Skoda Down! & Yes to the VW UP!

What do you think?

No, and I think Skoda should die.

Skoda was a respected brand before WW2 and the Czechs are good mechanical engineers as well as diligent and skilled workers. If Skoda can produce a vehicle like the VW at a much lower price then I say go for it and let us consumers benefit.

Cars today are a virtual commodity and many manufacturers no longer deliver on the promise of their brand -- I call that brand abuse and it sure makes the old adage "buyer beware" more important than ever.
