Fabričke promene MY2005-MY2012, EN

[Karlheinz]

Lista promena na modelima Oktavije II od 2005 do 2012.
Trenutno Škoda model za sledeću godinu izdaje u 22. nedelji tekuće godine, to znači da će svi automobili Škode od tada (početak juna tekuće godine) u broju šasije imati oznaku za sledeću godinu.
Praktično, u pitanju su izmene enterijera, opreme, motora...
Ranije je ta promena bila u avgustu, a od MY2011 je u junu.

MY2010:

29.12.2009. It's almost 2010, we're in MY2010 for 4-5 months now but Škoda said nothing about any changes of the new model year. One year's passed since the facelift and the new models are still very rare in Hungary. Because of the world economical crisis Škoda Auto is focusing on chinese and russian markets. That's why they could keep sales numbers close to the results of the previous year.
I assume the following changes were made:

• Dynamic Blue (6D6D) uni colour is no longer available.
• Pacific Blue (Z5Z5) uni colour is available.
• Rosso Brunello metallic (X7X7) is available.

• SURPRISE: at www.skoda-auto.cz you can choose all the ever existed colours! Like Agave green metallic, which was discontinued in 2004 at Octavia 1 (Tour) and was never available on Octavia 2! This option is available only at Ambiente, Elegance and Laurin & Klement levels (CK 15.000,- for the first two and CK 3.400,- for the latter). Classic, RS and Scout cars are not available in the older colours.
• ANOTHER SURPRISE: from 11.2010 the Climatic AC system will NOT maintain the set temperature automatically! It's a step backwards, congratulations! The number scale has disappeared around the temperature dial.
