Moving on to Solids

Autocar are starting to get coy with their articles.  Business-related ones at least - like this one.

Last week, they were telling me I had to sign up to see them but this one seems to be one of my two free ones now.

Alternatively, I could just see what Auto Express have on the subject.

Back in the day, people told Skoda jokes - 

Why do Skodas have heated rear windows? 

To keep your hands warm when you are pushing them.

How many Skodas does it take to change a lightbulb?

Two - in part-exchange.

But then Skoda became good.

Looks like this is a new image change, or, using management-speak, a new design language.

It is called Modern Solid - and if you look that up on Google, you get a Taiwanese company that makes various bits of office furniture specialising in arms for monitors.

Anyway, the new language comes with a picture:

A deliberately blurry picture.

They don't want to give anything away before their big launch in September.

Apart from maybe a Vizor front grille.  Although, can you call it a grille if it is solid?

According to Auto Express, outgoing Skoda CEO Thomas Schäfer claims “You will soon see a wow moment for our competitors and our customers”

It doesn't say whether he is outgoing as in extrovert or he is outgoing as in leaving.

Hopefully the latter if he is associating the word "wow" with an electric SUV.
