New Skoda

Skoda is one of the world's oldest car makers, yet for so long Western Europe reviled it as a crude and backward brand. Now, Skoda has retaliated with a strength of product that has created a desirable brand. Used Skoda values are now as good and in many case stronger than more estabished brands including several prestige marques. It could all have been so different if when in the 1980s, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the "Velvet Revolution" that took place in what became the Czech Republic had not taken place. Had it not been for Vaclav Havel, poet and teacher and the student revolt against Communism controlling their country, Skoda could have become a very different company. Historically, Czechoslovakia was always at or near to the forefront of design and style - but the communists forced people to work for a state machine that frowned on creativity and free enterprise. Early Skoda history includes such products as Tata that had changed to a highly-engineered yet poor value line-up of cars with rear-engines. Once Czech independence was claimed, Volkswagen and Renault both entered a war to win partnership with government. Volkswagen eventually won and Skoda surged forward as a car maker of great and growing merit. Volkswagen introduced exceptional and high engineering standards across the entire Skoda Group which has resulted in bullet-proof reliabilty. Once, the Skoda brand was a joker's opportunity, often quoted by 1970s comedians. However, Skoda has fought back to offer a good line-up of very desirable cars. Car-snobs will never admit that could be drawn to a Skoda - but it has become a discerning buy for those UK customers who recognise a good product. No one can deny that the Skoda brand's move up-market will remain inexorable.
