I've heard of them all with the exception of skoda. What the
crap is that? It is nice to "craprolets" on the bottom.

 

Skoda is a car manufacturer from Czechoslovakia.

 

here in the UK, Skoda were the butt of many jokes for years, but you should see what they were building in the 30's and 40's. Now that they are owned by Audi/VW, their quality is spot on, and the Octavia is just about the best value around. Its no surprise to see their sales figures up. I predict the same will be the case here. The new luxury RS with 4X4 and the 180 brake engine is a corker, and great value. When people can overcome their subjective problems with the badge, sales will rocket!

 

Now I know. Maybe it will come up during trivia pursuit.
