Camrysfa Turbocharged December 8, 2013 Share December 8, 2013 Qupted from the report "Mr Au said the winding up is of no concern to consumers because "we've not been selling any cars for some time". He added the industry is reeling from a dwindling supply of certificates of entitlement (COEs), tighter credit measures and heftier taxes introduced in February." The answer is there in the paragraph. Came across this purely by chance ....

1fast1 Supersonic December 8, 2013 Share December 8, 2013 (edited) Skoda always had a marketing problem. The marque obviously can't compete against the "big boys" BMW and Merc (and maybe Audi). But they could easily have pitched themselves aggressively as competition to VW and Opel. They could also have targetted the performance hatch segment with the Octavia vRS with the GTI sourced engine making 220hp. Right now, I'm not even sure if this car has come into Singapore, because I've never seen a single prominent ad for it. Either way, a big marketing and branding FAIL.

Kangadrool Supersonic December 8, 2013 Share December 8, 2013 IMO, if they are really talking about passion on cars, just bring in the manual transmission cars. At least, buyers have a choice instead of just limiting to the same DSG which VW is also selling. At the same time, they still can sell a few units instead of none.

Celicar Turbocharged December 8, 2013 Share December 8, 2013 Spot on, all is not what it seems. The one I will always remember is CK Tangs, every year report loss or barely break even, yet still got banks want to lend, still can carry on biz, recently the top management (the guy who got charged for buying kidney on black market) got featured in Straits Times, did you all see how grand his house is? Run a company that looks like almost dying yet can stay in such place, no need a genius to see what is happening. Pui.

The dealership was housed at Sime Darby property hence the lawsuit. It was after they were evicted, then it is housed in his father-in-law's property. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryn Turbocharged December 8, 2013 Share December 8, 2013 Give you some ups for this.. the Skoda performance cars are a really really good buy.

Ril3k 1st Gear December 9, 2013 Share December 9, 2013 Was speakg to Daniel. He wanted to assure everyone it is business as usual for SKoda and all warranty, servicing and sales will continue. the winding up is due to HSV The Rapid and Oct 3 will come in Apr/ May 2014 with the Rapid a Cat A car. Oct 3, VRS and Superb facelift will be cat B. he is considering what options to take away so if u guys have opinion.. let him know. Personally, I prefer the superb to be fully spec'd but that is me. Rapid is likely to be rather basic. Oh.. and msg to those who chip.. pls pls flash back to stock before bringing to HA.. else they cannot help u..

The_Bear Turbocharged December 9, 2013 Share December 9, 2013 bavarian better sell his superb It's an Octavia RS. Anyway, not too concern with this development. Someone else will take over the brand in due course. If you really notice, the warranties by ADs are kind of BS. There is no worries about spare parts because Skoda is all over the place in Europe. ADs are not such a big deal as they make themselves of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of like Holden. There's at least one fast Holden (the HSV GTS) I'm interested in. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
