Hall of Paris: Skoda Octavia 2009 (live photos and video official)

And we jump from General Motors to Volkswagen group, now to talk of renovating the Skoda Octavia. The more representative model of Skoda, real blockbusters among taxi drivers from half of Europe and excellent choice of content within its price segment, has been updated with several cosmetic and mechanical changes that will enable it to continue to face the coming years until the arrival of the new generation.

A first glance is enough to perceive the arrival of an entirely new front, boosted Superb style but with a totally air itself. Its overall appearance is still conservative, although the optical front will bring a touch of freshness grateful after so much a straight line. The rear, meanwhile, continues to afflict the same lack of personality, although the color design of the pilots is new bill. Inside, things are kept more or less as we were, what better present with the arrival of a GPS navigator more aesthetic and complete and used by his older brother.

It is true that the reactions to the change in style has been somewhat mixed, but we can assure you that in person is something different. Lost years, gaining momentum and is more cohesive with the rest of the range. The arrival of the new 1.4 TSI engines (120 hp) and 1.8 TSI (160 hp) will do no harm either.
