Happy Birthday Superb!

You don’t have to look too far back to hear the Skoda name being used as comedy material for the average Saturday night stand up. How things have changed!

 

Now the brands flagship model, the Superb celebrated its 20-year anniversary on 11 September and since its introduction in 2001, around 1.5 million units of the ‘modern’ ŠKODA SUPERB have been delivered.

 

The image in this article shows clearly that Skoda were already making serious cars as far back as WW2, with almost 900 on European roads by 1949. 

 

The model was re-introduced in 2001 and although a little boxy and utilitarian the sheer quality and longevity of this model began, slowly but surely, to rebuild it reputation.

 

This was followed by a second generation in 2008 and by 2015 well over half a million had been produced. 

 

The current and third generation cars are quite simply outstanding vehicles competing with the very best luxury marques and quite often surpassing them.

 

Comedians probably still use the Skoda name for their comedy material, but the joke is now on the car buyers who pay thousands of pounds more for an inferior vehicle, simply  because it has a different badge. 

 

Happy 20th birthday to the Superb, a title which is well and truly deserved.

Lightcliffe Skoda Warrington is a trading style of Clare James Automotive limited which is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Clare James Automotive Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes Volkswagen Financial Services. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to Volkswagen Financial Services, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and Volkswagen Financial Services also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms, and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
