Skoda’s previous best year was 2009, where sales were buoyed by strong demand from pan-European scrappage incentive schemes.
Skoda sold a total of 684,226 units last year and has said it expects to at least match that figure in 2010.

Re: Skoda posts record sales
Skoda deserve it - they have a very good range. VW have been good to them. However, they have been discounting reasonably heavily for the last few months (the VAT free offer), so I wonder how profitable they will be.
