    why not get all the opportunities to blame everything on the big bad german right? ffs, as if skoda doesn t have an history of seriously bad designs. the new Seats look stunning, the next yeti has been seen testing and its a tiguan with a skoda front, heck, why would they even released the kodiaq, but doesn t matter right? why blame on the brand that has loved quirky designs since forever, lets all bark and join the worlds favorite hobby, blame germany (and i m not german btw)

    Norbert Havran Should we expect the next line of BMW to be rubbish? The guy apparently did the Veyron (amazing car but the exterior design was kinda dodgy) and the new Skodas that turned to be more and more awful (Octavia 2 with facelift was the best looking). It's like he realized he ruined the design of the brand and abandoned ship. Meanwhile the latest BMW although some seemed bland were nice to look at and definitely better than the old Bangle design (except the 1 series, that was bad and now it's shit!).

    Dear carwow you named your video "2017 Skoda Octavia - how have they made it even better?" you should have named it HOW THEY RUINED IT! Look at the comments, the percentage of disgust is shockingly high! It's even worse than the new Ghostbusters!

    The fact that this new version like it's predecessor is as ugly as shit is not the problem, but the fact that I'll have to see them on the roads for many years is.

    I was waiting for Skoda to change those numbers around tacho and make them horizontal, then they did this.

    Looks like Skoda can't do a decent facelift to save their lives. The Mark 2 Octavia facelift was a lot less attractive from the front than the original design too. Thankfully as the driver you're the only person who won't have to look at it provided you always reverse it into your driveway.
