Interesting though that this is the case...

I've driven a one of these (good mate as a Force6 P-car) and it is incredible. Have also driven an BF F6 and a BA II XR6T... The force6 was the most comfortable and also the most eye-popping under power...

Given that they only made a handful, and that they are relatively 'un-loved' this could turn out to be a bit of a bolter in years to come...

the velvet sledgehammer? perhaps...

I have to agree.... the Force 6 and Force 8 cars were very very nice units. The Force 6 mentioned above is dirt cheap

Went to look at the specs on the Skoda Octavia and the result gave me a bit of a chuckle,

If you click on more information it just gets more confusing. It would appear as though Skoda are only making V6 territories lasers now
