    @kiwiwomble yup - if you lift the bonnet of a Skoda almost every part in the engine is badged either VW or Audi.

    @dogmeat My memories of the 1960/70s Skoda models. Clearly they must have improved since then.

    Q: What do you call a Skoda at the top of a Hill?
    A: A Miracle.

    Q: What do you call two Skodas at the top of a hill?
    A: A mirage.

    Q: What's the difference between a golfball and a Skoda?
    A: A golf ball can be driven 300 yards.

    There are so many, but they are all from a long time ago, so unfortunately Mr Plod pushing his Skoda is unlikely to happen and entertain me.

    I owned one in the UK, it was basically a low internall spec, different shape VW Polo. For half the price.

    @higgins that headline is weird. What's with the "So European" bit?

    Yeah the Octavia RS is a pretty sweet car. My bro had a Superb station wagon and I had one as a rental last time in NZ. Bloody nice car. The old man drives for corporate cabs and they've moved to Skoda too.

    Yeah. So how many of the people on the planet do you think are complete idiots and think that is a problem? I'm happy with Corona. It means "Crown".

    @snowy lots....i think there are lots of complete idiots, I would have guessed there are more idiots than people that would want to buy a seltzer just because it shares the same name as a beer they like

    its not exactly unheard of for a brand to move away from negative connotations even i there is no actually connection

    I doubt that they will do that.

    @snowy obviously theyre not and i wasn't even suggesting they do, just surprised when launching a new product that i wouldn't have thought actually leveraged too much on the existing brand thats they just didn't go with something new

    Because there is nothing wrong with the existing brand? They can use that for marketing.

    You really think that is a problem?

    @snowy sorry to have once again offended you

    no, i have no problem with it, you cant have completely missed all the idiots that were connecting the two last year, no matter how unfounded that might have been, you also cant be obvious to the fact sometimes decisions are made based on optics even if those optics are far from the cold hard truth

    i've said this already but you've chosen to quote the same post as earlier for some reason

    @kiwiwomble You haven't offended me. I struggle with your logic at times and I will give up.

    @snowy and i struggle with you inability to understand others points of view sometimes, unless someone agrees with you they mustn't understand the situation and so need to be talked down too

    good on corona, i wish them all the luck, maybe there are less idiots in the world than i suspected and there is still hope for humanity

    sorry such a normally light hearted thread has been derailed

    Wow. You really don't get it. Have a crack if you wish.

    I will argue a point. Corona is a beer and a brand, they aren't losing anything.

    Do people prefer lemon or lime ? I’m pretty easy either way as long as it’s one or the other. It’s pretty undrinkable without.

    O.K. All up to you how you swing.
    See, we don't have to have all of this judgement.

    I'm going lime because lemon is just ubiquitous.
