Styling Looks like a skoda!!

[activematt]

Hi

Its never occured to me in owning my stilo but just lately quite a few people have commented on my stilo resembling a new style skoda, my natural reaction was to dismiss the idea completely, but since then ive taken a closer look at the modern skoda's and they do look scarily similar to stilo's, im now on a mission to make mine look completely different!!!
Has anyone else had these kinda comments, or even ever really considered it?

Skoda???????????

Stilo???????????

Rubbish! Post some photos up to justify those offensive comments!

Nonsense. It looks nothing like a Skoda!

I heard folk say the 3-door stilo looks like the Fabia, but if you parked both cars together you'd realise they are very different!

Now if they said they were built like a Skoda.....................

Would that be before or after VW taught them how to bolt cars together?

Before!

I'd say there is a passing similarity to the 3-door Stilo and the new Audi A3

New Astra is a rip-off too.

Vauxhall for years have copied features from Fords badly!

vauxhall have done everything badly for years.

The new Astra is getting very good reviews mind, I personally think it ecplises the new Golf.

I agree there is a similarity with the new A3, I noticed the other day when I was parked next to one, I couldn't help feeling a little smug that I paid around half what the Audi would cost

Another car I noticed the Stilo is a similar shape to is the 307.

I could go out into the driveway and curl one out and that would be better than the new Golf.

Italian design... if you cant beat it just copy it!


it seems over the last 6 or so years many car makers are copying certain design styles from Fiat...

The trouble with the new Golf is that it just isn't really that much more than the previous model, such an important model for VW should have been a new trend setter, as the Golf was in the good old days (Mk1), as it is, the MkV will be dated within a year or two.

Much as I'm not a fan of them, Ford did well with the Focus, its been around 6 years now, it doesn't really look that dated still does it?

I don't know, the new Golf looks good, it has very smooth flowy lines, quite nice actually.

Have you been in one yet? The build quality is very poor. I'm getting worried about the number of pro-German comments posted here lately!

 

[twincamms]

No, I've not been in one or sat in one, but I will as soon as I get the opportunity.

The Astra they show in ads (3 door) looks great too (err, am I saying this about a Vauxhall) but if you read the small print it's about £16k, so it should look nice as they are featuring the top model!

The new A3 looks nice too, oh goodness me there are some nice cars being launched at the moment aren't there?
