| ![]() Skoda sells for it's top build quality, comfort and german engineering, which no Jap car can match! Besides that vRS also sells for it;s performance. Secondly it is a well known and discussed point that Japanese horses are weaker than European horses, though the jap cars might be faster because they are lighter (read poor / unsafe build). You drive both and you know what I am talking about. Thirdly, Volkswagon DSG automatic transmission (to be available in Skoda A5) is faster and more efficient than Manual transmission ![]() So it might be a close call between the two cars, which you will be able to decide only after the test drive... |

| ![]() @ Mr Boombastic: Online refree says, speculation on the A5 Octy RS power output will lead to only further detours. As long as people are discussing cars, it's alright, isn't it? If you don't want that either, let's just ask members to reply in either "Yes" or "No." What say? Better still, we could just shoot an email to Skoda Auto India asking them to leak their future plans, and we wouldn't need a thread on this at all. What say, mate?

2. A conversation is what we have on this forum and conversations by nature tend to go off tangent. 3. If you still dont get it..... none of us can tell you with 100% certianity if the A5 Octy will retain all of 200 hp. 4. Now, if you simply want people to make uneducated guesses, then start a poll. | |

| ![]() Going by what MPower says, if the current vRS is the old Jetta 1.8T, they might not launch the new FSI engine at all. We might just get the 1.8T seen in the Octy RS abroad, the A4 engine that pumped 180 bhp. My guess is a 180 bhp. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() OK, lets look at it another way, the only reason they reduce the power because hi-octane fuel is not guarenteed all over India. But, if you live in a major metro, Speed 97 should not be a problem which means you can chip it to 200 and beyond if you wish. OK, I know you dont like chipping, but its really no problem as long as you use the right fuel. |
