Talk:Škoda Rapid (2012)

Generations[edit]

There are currently 4 articles about Skoda Rapid, what about merging (at least some of them) here and name the others as different generations? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0koda_Rapid_(disambiguation)

Infobox[edit]

File:Skoda Rapid 2019.jpg

Current image

I'm asking people which photo would be better for the infobox seeing that it has been changed. Although the previous image was by me, I disagree with the current image due to factors such as the angle, the lighting. This could be solved by reverting the edit and add the facelifted version in the article somewhere. Thoughts?

(Edit: Looking at the images uploaded by this user, all of them have no exif data and are small size which question whether these are copyrighted or not.) --Vauxford (talk) 16:03, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There appears to have been a facelift when I wasn't looking. It would be helpful if someone could tell us something about the new-look Rapid in the article on the car. I'd assumed they were just not making it any more. The Škoda Scala is being presented on the UK market as a replacmenert for the Rapid. But maybe in markets wehere they like the three-box silhouette the Rapid soldiers on with a Scala-look front. Or .... or... Does anyone out there know more?

Several of the less dire pictures (IMHO) of the 2012 Rapid on Wiki-Commons were uploaded by me way back when, so I should resist your invitation to discuss picture quality on this occasion!

I agree with Vauxford. The new current image has the car displayed at an angle that pushes its front end too much to the fore, and the extreme colour differences mean that some of the white bodywork is overexposed. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 18:13, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. The photo is not the best. I will try to take a better picture of this model when it appears on the streets, while it is not for sale yet. LaKlement (talk) 19:40, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

LaKlement But the image doesn't need to be replaced just because it the current generation. The previous before that was just fine. --Vauxford (talk) 15:28, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The new image doesn't come anywhere close to following the project image guidelines. The previous image should be restored. --Sable232 (talk) 21:19, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I replaced the images, it will be better. This is my personal photo. I exclusively downloaded it for Wikipedia. The pictures not very good, but there are no others yet (for facelifted Škoda Rapid (2019)). LaKlement (talk) 16:26, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Small family (C-segment) or Subcompact/Supermini (B-segment)?[edit]

As it is based on PQ25 platform, should it be subcompact/supermini (B-segment) instead of small family car (C-segment) in the lead section and infobox? --Julthep (talk) 08:50, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
