Volkswagen’s Czech Brand Skoda Could Be Entering the U.S. Market

Posted by Poquet Auto on Jun 14, 2016 10:49:16 AM

Similar to the U.S. ban on the Nissan Skyline, Volkswagen’s Czech brand Skoda is high on the list of forbidden European cars. For those that may not be familiar Skoda, it is the budget alternative to VW and is a heavy sponsor for several international, mainly European, hockey tournaments and teams (they’re the car brand that showcases a car in the corners of the arena).

Skoda's official U.S. return is no sure thing, but the company hasn't ruled out North American sales, and has filed trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its brand name and logos. Reportedly, applications were made for the Superb sedan, Octavia hatchback, and the Yeti SUV. Skoda is also bringing a seven-passenger SUV, the Kodiaq, to market soon, which would probably fit the U.S. market's demands nicely.

Red and silver, black and white, these are just a few of the most common colors you see on cars today. But, as many people may know, it wasn’t always that way. In fact, Henry Ford once said that when it came to his new Model T, the customer could have any color they wanted, “as long as it’s black.”

But in the 21st century, cars come in every color of the rainbow. Some colors are even trademarked under a certain brand and model, such as the Chevrolet Corvette shown below in the exclusive “Jetstream Blue.”

So, with the power of choice in mind, we asked our friends and followers what their favorite car color was.

[Video] A Lamborghini tractor? They’re real, and the story behind them is quite fascinating!

Let’s admit it, when you first saw this article and the name “Lamborghini,” you probably didn’t think of a tractor. But Ferruccio Lamborghini got his start making tractors after serving in the Italian Air Force’s Motor Pool until 1947. From there, Mr. Lamborghini saw the demand for tractors after World War II and began converting surplus military engines into powerful tractors.
