In news of the odd, Volkswagen may be bringing Skodas to America. VW recently filed with American agencies to protect the Skoda name and logos. Skoda is sort of, kind of a down-market version of VW, but they also make weird stuff - we’ve always wanted a Fabia FunStar, which is more or less a Golf-El-Camino sort of thing. No word if we’d get that, but the superb sedan, the Octavia hatch, and the yeti SUV are possible. Skoda’s entry into this country would be a way of selling VW products without the Dieselgate cloud that hangs over that name right now.
