@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: It's a size bigger, so it's based on the Passat floor pan, which is basically an extended Golf.
These things are going to be everywhere soon, as they are hugely popular as Taxi's. Basically the proven reliability of a VW without the added cost and with bigger interiors. Just don't expect to see many rocking a V6.
Drove an Octavia with the 1.9 diesel a few years ago as a rental. Put about 1K mi on it, and I couldn't have been more impressed. It seemed to have been made by people who understand what you can do without on a cheap car without making it feel cheap. I was seriously shocked that those people worked for VW.
