I know skoda is VW, in fact, Skoda Octavia = VW Jetta, Skoda Superb = VW Passat.
Look at price and equipment. Passat is like $43k for a base model with no leather or anything. So it is a different class
BUT. the Skoda Superb dilemma I'm facing at the moment exists the same for Passat.
CU2 Lex Navi is 47k RRP (in special at the moment. apparently)
Passat 118TSI Highline with sunroof and GPS option (so it's same as CU2) is $52k full price RRP
Skoda Superb 118TSI Elegance with Sunroof (GPS standard) is $51K full price RRP
and. Citroen C5 2.0 HDI Comfort with GPS and Sunroof is also $52k full price RRP
In another words, for less than 10% more than the Euro Lux Navi you get a FULL SIZE sedan with same luxury features, but with less fuel consumption (you are looking at 30-40% less fuel consumption in the urban cycle) and a German/French badge.
Then theres new players like the Kia Optima... I'm seriously impressed by it.
