If what the rumor mill is saying is true, then we’re literally counting days until the online unveiling of the next generation of Skoda’s most popular model, the 2013 Octavia Mk3, which could explain the number of teaser images being released by the Czech carmaker.

A couple of days after Skoda provided us a set with photos of the rear combination lights and the rear window and C-column treatment, the VW Group-owned company published three more images on Friday.

The latest ones show the new front grille with the piano black vertical bars, the side mirrors that incorporate turning lights and somewhat more interestingly, the interior where we see the steering wheel with the voice command buttons, the center console with the large screen for the infotainment system and the chrome trimmings of the instrument gauges.

Skoda officials have hinted at a higher quality and better-equipped interior as the introduction of the more affordable Rapid allowed the company to move the new Octavia more upmarket.
