2004 Skoda Superb Elegance 2.8 V6 automatic review
Let's deal with the name first: yes Skoda has called the car Superb, but it isn't an arrogant misnomer - there is a historical reason for it. Back in the 1920s, Skoda was one of the leaders in automotive design. Its product was the choice of many a royal family around Europe, and one of its models was the Superb.
