Should The UP! Be Shared With Skoda?

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.
