New Skoda Rapid Saloon gets its First Commercial

Even though Skoda's new offering in the highly competitive compact sedan market will not be arriving in showrooms across Europe before the fourth quarter of the year, a TV spot on the Rapid has already hit the interwebs providing us a first look at the car on the move.

You can read more about it in our detailed post here, but if you want a basic outline, the five-seater Rapid is 4.48m long and 1.7m wide, and will launch in Europe with a choice of five petrol and two diesel engines, all of which are shared with the VW Polo that also supplied its underpinnings to the Czech model.
