^ It might not get more sales though.

Do you know something VW/Skoda executives don't? I don't think so. :D

They are even launching Rapid's nearly identical sister, the new Seat Toledo. It's called diversification. Yes, it can lead to the so called sales cannibalization, but I'm sure they've done their homework.

One of the cars has to leave, as there's not many car manufacturers selling two of the same cars i the same range.

Like I said, unless the Octavia gets booted out and the Rapid is the replacement

Rapid is already smaller (and will sell for less) than Octavia; they are in different car segments.

^ Looks like a very generic backend...I mean there are no features to it at all.

I quite like it, but it's still a Skoda... they have a pretty bad name here in the UK.

The design looks dated to me. Something that would have been right at home 4-5 years ago. But not today.
