I was wondering that, but too lazy to ask? What is a Skoda?

It is Czech Republic based company.
Since the end of the cold war they have really turned a good corner and have been growing their market share at a fantastic rate. When I lived in the UK during the cold war they were not very good cars. Looking at some their new cars I would consider one if I lived in the UK still.
There is a persistent rumour that they are going to try and get into the US market as the world economy stablizes and they have the captiol to make a splash instead the horrid episoded the US market endured with Renault.
Czech them out (pun inteneded)

Skoda were bought out by VW after the cold war,who invested billions.I think even now,all their models are on VW platforms.Ditto Seat.

They are all small cars. Cheap to run and easy to park. I wonder how many of them burned petrol as a % of the total numbers sold.
Which top 10 is this ? popular ? quality ?

M-Class is no. 155 out of 159. yikes.
I wish they would show all the in-betweens to see where S class ranks to Audi/BMW.
