There were spy" shots. There were extremely dark pictures. And now we have some drawings and severely cropped-in photos. Skoda"s dragging out the reveal of the Kodiaq vRS as if it"s the new Toyota Supra or something. Surely we"ll see the real car soon? It"s not like we can"t guess what it"s going to look like. We know the Kodiaq well (it"s won two Top Gear SUV of the Year awards in row) and we know the Octavia vRS well (it"s a wonderfully competent thing that"s been around for years), so it takes only a small amount of brain power to amalgamate the two in our minds. We can"t help but think the full unveiling at the Paris Motor Show will be a colossal anti-climax. If you need a recap, the Kodiaq vRS will be the first seven-seater vRS, a point rammed home by Skoda claiming the seven-seater lap record of the N rburgring during the car"s development. Proving just how irrelevant that really is, it"s nearly three minutes behind the quickest production car around the Ring.
