Only difference is that, what you are about to see, actually happened in real life. Our only gripe is the somewhat poor video quality, but then again, that's probably to be expected from a camera positioned on the dashboard of a police car. So what exactly are we looking at here? To make a long story short, a Czech police car (a Skoda Octavia 1.8-liter TSI, according to a poster on YouTube) patrolling the roads of the country's capital city of Prague, spotted <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/motorcycles">a motorcyclist</a> without a license plate entering a Bus/Taxi only lane and signaled him to stop. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/11/incredible-high-speed-police-pursuit-of.html#more">Read more »</a>

The Czech automaker said that despite the car's compact dimensions, it will "comfortably seat up to five persons" providing ample luggage space. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4hO5yf3E-N8/UABWXGRbQLI/AAAAAAAIO-A/R5e_JS5U5Ho/s1600/2013-Skoda-Rapid-77.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5764702477854916786" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4hO5yf3E-N8/UABWXGRbQLI/AAAAAAAIO-A/R5e_JS5U5Ho/s200/2013-Skoda-Rapid-77.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; border: 1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224); width: 133px; height: 90px;"></a>While we cannot comment on the passenger room yet, the new Skoda that is equipped with a tailgate that lifts together with the rear window has a capacious boot space of 550 litres, which is just shy of the 560 litres offered by the much larger BMW 5-Series Estate. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/07/2013-skoda-rapid-sedan-detailed-in-106.html#more">Read more »</a>
