Skoda And vw both dont have a presence in US

Why don't you check out the internet before making such claims?

VW is very much present in the USA and since a very long time.

The only reason I am excited about it is because it means only one thing: A cheaper Laura.

Else its outright ugly.

It seems, the headlamps are influenced from new generation Passat/Jetta.

I still love the old generation Octy.

The new one din't appeal to me much.

Skoda is owned by VW and we see lots of part sharing: Under hood parts of skoda cars carry Audi logo. Head and tail lights are inspired by Audi/VW cars.
VW is string to tone down the aggressive stance of Skoda cars and make them look more contemporary.

I love skoda (cheaper than VW and AUDI) for its handling and drive dynamics. I used to be fan of Old Octavia. Lets wait for the official release and thorough TD and Price.

I liked the old Bonnet and grill more than this but car is looking refreshing. Skoda do not have presence in American market, in fact American market is dominated by Japs, Koreans (recently though) and American brands.
Lets wait for the final production version with specification and price. I am big fan of Skoda cars and their understated yet elegant style.

Europeans do have a significant presence also in US - Volvo is the gold standard for whom safety is paramount. Then there's SAAB for the "different" crowd. VW, BMW, Merc and Audi users are snobbish yuppies. Maybach and Maserati for the one percenters. But, skoda is yet to open a showroom there, as pointed out by others.

2013 Skoda Octavia revealed

Will be offered with nine different engines

Skoda has officially unveiled the 2013 Octavia.
Designed to set new "standards in the compact segment," the model has an evolutionary design with a prominent grille, a sloping roofline and a distinctive rear door "fin." Overall, the model is 90mm longer and 45mm wider than its predecessor. It also rides on a wheelbase that has been expanded by 108mm.
The restrained styling carries over to the cabin as the model has an attractive and functional interior. Notable highlights include a three-spoke steering wheel, metallic trim, updated infotainment systems and an optional panorama glass roof. The Octavia also has a best-in-class cargo capacity of 590 liters (20.8 cubic feet).
Options include Adaptive Cruise Assistant (intelligent cruise control), Automatic Parking Assistant and Intelligent Light Assistant which automatically switches the high-beam headlights off when oncoming traffic is detected.
A total of nine different engines will be available including four petrols, four diesels and a natural gas variant. Detailed specifications haven't been announced but Skoda confirmed there will be a 1.8-liter TSI with 179 HP (132 kW) and a GreenLine variant with a 1.6-liter TDI that develops 110 HP (81 kW). The latter model will average 3.4 L/100km (69.1 mpg US / 83.0 mpg UK) and have CO2 emissions of 89 g/km.
Regardless of which engine is selected, it will be connected to a "modern manual" or a DSG transmission. Front wheel drive will be standard, but all-wheel drive will be optional.
