Superb in Tuscany

Beautiful Tuscany was today's destination, for the launch drive of the new Skoda Superb. So we've flown from UK to Italy to drive a German-owned, Czech-built car. Such is the international nature of today's motor industry.

The are some clever touches in the new car, such as the onboard umbrellas housed in each front door armrest, the ice scraper stowed inside the fuel filler cap, and the water bottle grip between the front seats that makes it easier to unscrew the bottle cap. Clever details. No one laughs at Skodas any more.
