What is it with the Designers fascination...of Glass, Glass and more Glass in a Vehicle, surely that would only serve to make the Vehicle uncomfortably hot on sunny days and extremely cold on winters nights...both extremes resulting in a need for extra Cooling or extra Heating which is just a further drain on power supplies from within the vehicle.

Fewer windows and lighter but well insulated bodies would be a far better apporoach. :?

Dont worry...the Skoda Badge will be around on Vehicles Taxi, PH or Private vehicles well into the future...Reliabilty and build quality counts for everything even if the power plant is a VW Twin Screw lectro fusion 3 Zigawatt Doodle Solaric 1600 CzcZc module built in to a WAV to accommodate the latest Hyper hover Chair exoskeleton non ambiente passenger transportation unit...

:shock:

Most of them look like mobile toilets, especially the one that has 'vacant' on the side.
