10. SKODIA LAURA INDIAN SCENARIO
• In 2005, Skoda introduced the 2nd generation Octavia.
Unfortunately, they decided to sell the old & new
generations side by side, simply badging the latest model
as the Laura. This didn't go down too well. In the million+
rupee segment, the informed Indian customer gives a cold
shoulder to old products. While the Octavia slowly fizzled
out of the market, the Laura did well for itself, despite the
premium pricing. The Laura went through a facelift in the
year 2009. However, its age vis a vis fresher competition
was starting to show. For enthusiasts, the Laura vRS
didn't create the same impression as the earlier Octavia
vRS. That 1.8L TSI engine is a gem, but the softened new
vRS didn't have the raw feeling of the Octavia.

11. SKODA OCTAVIA III GEN
