Remember Skoda? They were rolling piles of Czech crap that rotted their way around North America for a few years in the Eighties. My Mom almost bought one, until she dented the door of a show car with her hand while closing the door!

Well, in Europe, Skoda has an entirely different reputation and some damn cool cars, including the Skoda Octavia WRC car. On July 13, the ten millionth Skoda rolled off the line in Mlada Boleslav.

Skoda has been building cars since 1905. To read some of the history, be sure to visit Automotoportal.
