Okay the new Skoda Superb was debuted in Prague a short while ago but the two they took to Geneva is something else.

The Superb Mk2 was only available in dark dull tones (and silver and white) but it suited it.

We have a silver Mk2 at present and I was umming and arghing over getting a black one or silver again for the Mk3. Then I saw this colour. I hope they do offer it in these colours.

Look at this blue.

The metallic yellow gold is nice but I couldn't live with it.

FYI, also in brown.

Estate will follow soon.

Looks like an Acura TLX with 2011-14 Audi A8 headlights, 2012-up A6 taillights, and mashup of Buick/upside-down Lincoln grilles.

They are current wheels which are Trinity 18", available in regular alloy and black, these above are chromed.

They certainly are some of the best looking OEM Chrome wheels

This is a classy color. Makes me think of fine chocolate or rich mahogany.

She shares the same platform as the new Audi coming soon and VW Passat.

It's got similar headlights to the 2013 Seat Leon.

and similar rear lights seen on many Audis.

They really work well with the car.

It's a lovely colour but I'm really sold on the blue.

I've cleaned many metallic blue cars and in the daylight they look amazing.

(granted the Renault metallic blue looks to be a darker tone).

It is quite attractive. These days, though, I'm just happy to see options other than black/white/grey/silver.

They're like Volkswagons, but not as boring.

I agree. This is the current colour range for the Superb.

That isn't terrible, but still only like 4-5 actual colors, and no greens. We're just in a very color-phobic era right now.

They are essentially Volkswagens. They share the MQB platform of many others in the VW Audi Group. Only better thought out.

I'd love to see a Superb in one of the Octavia colours.

I wish VW sold these cars instead of NA/China market Passats. I love the cubist look.

I even like the Roomster and the more anodyne models from past years. I see the appeal in unpretentious design.

A guy at work has a Roomster and it's just hideous.

I liked the simplicity of Skoda design but the new design language up front is just so beautifully aggressive.
