A European division of VW by the name of Škoda has recently announced that they are set to launch their Superb GreenLine.

Featuring a 1.9L turbocharged diesel engine, that is capable of 105HP and 184 pounds of torque, the GreenLine is rated at a highly competitive 46 MPG.

The engine isn’t the only cool think about Škoda’s latest creation as it also features a Park Assist system, which pretty much describes itself. Other than that, the GreenLine also features a “TwinDoor” trunk which allows drivers to open the trunk as either a normal trunk would, or as a hatchback. Pretty neat.

In what has to be an outrageous for a car, Skoda has reportedly unveiled one of its most expensive and fastest production cars, the Superb V6 four-wheel drive. The price? Would you believe $48,000?

The price is indeed hefty and considering that today is the age of saving and turn towards electric and hybrid cars aiming to address the fuel and pollution problems, this car has to be kidding!

the latest Superb is the ‘most expensive Skoda ever built,’ according to the car maker. The Elegance version including all extras cost 45,229 euros including seven airbags and an array of assistance systems, leather upholstery and sunroof.

It is indeed superb but also impractical. I don’t think even the millionaires would waste their money on such a vehicle especially when you can buy better branded ones in the market today.
