As in truffle brown colour?

[Lightspeed]

Yup... something like that.... will only match darker colours right?

 

Seems that only black seats would match silver exterior

If you want to keep the silver..gotta make your interior black

By the time the OctyII arrives (if it ever makes it here anyway), most people would have bought their Alfas, Meganes, C4s, Focus, Astras, etc.

 

They can really forget about any sales if they still drag on....

 

 

CA's sales efforts lack focus. Just look at their ads: a brief mention about the car's model name, price, and free gift for every test drive. They can keep giving away free gifts for nothing, since it take more for potential buyers to accept the financial commitments of a purchase.

 

So, what can CA do?

 

The ad needs pictures. Amazingly, some people actually associate Skoda with Lada (WTF???), and pictures of the Octy will dispel that silly notion.

 

Remind readers that the Octy Tour shares VW underpinnings and technologies. Let people know that the car comes with ABS, EBD, trip computer, etc, etc, etc.

 

And the deal needs sweeteners, like improving on the warranty terms. After all, Skoda isn't among the Top 3 in JD Powers ranking in UK for nothing. Better warranty will reinforce that claim in SG.

 

Oh... and drop the price a tad too. It's an old model, for goodness sakes.

 

Ya man, I was told previously they r giving only 2 yrs or 60km warranty.......tis d main reason y it turns me off previously

Black don't look elegant anymore LOL

[Magfocus]

Black was never elegant what...unless on an Aston for eg..

[Lightspeed]

Haiz... dark will have to go with light.... Maybe Cinammon

[Jack_jack]

Up till now, all we see are the ads you mentioned in the papers that don't say much... sheesh

 

It's no wonder the public still associate Skodas with Ladas and the old Favorits come to mind

 

 

If the public gets to gawk at the following photos, we can dispel the Lada misconceptions for good.
