Octavia vRS is now official;-

Estate looks better than the hatch. Not liking the way VAG are going with their dashboards.

Hmm...doesn't look disastrous in the daylight (but still think the MK7.5 looks better)

That photo makes it look pretty hardcore actually. The red looks good but it has got 19's. You can see how it being lower makes it look better too. On that photo I'd have one.

Quite liking the new Kings Red metallic shade. Bit more interesting than the usual 50 shades of Grey  :cool:

Another better looking photo. Needs the 19's and not the Milton Keynes...

Hmmm, the front end still has some really awkward angles but it definitely looks better with the 19’s.
I’m sure it’ll grow on most of us.

That colour would be popular if we actually get offered it.

With the 19" Rims it markedly improves but there is no getting past the ridiculous expanse of grill and them integrated lights - Do think the air vents (if well done) on the R will make a huge difference to the look.
