The new prices and equipment will be available on nearly every model -- including the new A5 Sportback (pictured).
The company also claims standard spec has been increased across the range.

I guess VW and others in the VAG stable will be following suit soon

Notice 1.2 tsi is in the A3 too

**-Chris-** · 30-09-2009, 11:06

There's a lot of upspec'ing in the specs too - larger alloys, adding in parking sensors, A/C standard in the A3 (finally...), that kinda stuff.

Good news!

Is a new A3 in the wings? Anyone know?

Saab Ed · 30-09-2009, 11:32

What does this make Skodas worth then?

Word is it'll be launched in 2011, which means it'll probably be here in 2012.

They're doing "mule testing" at the moment afaik and leaking artist renderings, so it's not too soon...

Whoah! S4 cut by 20 grand (to 57k)! BMW's 335 now looks way overpriced....

I had a look through the price list. There doesnt seem to be much change in price of TT diesel or indeed A6 diesel which has been offered for 39,900 for a good while now.

**-Chris-** · 30-09-2009, 16:19

TT will be upspec'd (details still to be released, but worth a few quid).

A6 was offered at €39,900 for the LE spec which was downspec'd from the standard car (smaller wheels, more basic radio etc) while afaik this pricing now applies to the standard model.

Audi to existing customers: "Thanks suckers"

**-Chris-** · 30-09-2009, 16:23

So if they increased the price they'd be robbin' gits, if they drop the price they're stickin' it to their loyal customers.

What would make you happy cancan?

Would you have been happier had they not dropped their prices?

Well, I dont drive one, but I'd bet people who bought a new one in the last 6 months and maybe paid extra for better specs will be feeling pretty annoyed. That double-whammy will have knocked several grand off the resale value.

Perhaps they could return that 10% to owners who purchased in the last few years?

Basically, like most manufacturers, they were gouging the irsh market, and now, to save their dealers, they are slashing the cost of new cars to generate some showroom traffic and a few sales, and to hell with the resale values and past customers.

Tiz greed with a different slant.
