When's Skoda going to do another one of these?

Been doing some research for a book I’m contributing to, and found out something I never knew about Skoda. It used to have a convertible in its range – and a little cutey it was, too – and that was where the name Felicia orginated. Originally known as the 450, this two-door convertible – the only proper one Skoda has ever sold (let's ignore the aftermarket Rapid conversion) – was reworked and rebadged as the Felicia in 1959. The name is derived from the Latin for ‘happiness’. The drop-top came in two formats; the standard Felicia had a 1,089cc engine, but a more powerful 1,221cc version was launched in 1961 and badged the Felicia Super. The bench-style front bench seat could accommodate three, with further space for two passengers behind. Exterior styling was broadly similar to the Octavia, which also debuted in 1959. It just goes to show that even when it was a budget volume brand for the Soviet Bloc’s aspiring classes, Skoda knew a thing or two about auto design.
