What is the difference between skoda and volkswagen?

people say that skoda is a branch of volkswagen started in Czechoslovakia. is it true?


volkswagen is equal to skoda?|||Set up in the late 1800s, Skoda (a Czech Republic based car manufacturer) was one of the oldest car companies in the world. The company and its cars had enjoyed considerable repute in the first half of the 1900s. However, its fortunes turned after the Second World War, when it first came under Nazi control and was later nationalized by the Czechoslovakian government. By the 1980s, Skoda cars had lost track of the technological advancements in the West, and were widely derided for their poor quality and unreliability. In 1991, Volkswagen acquired a stake in Skoda. Following this, Volkswagen went about systematically transforming Skoda's image and establishing it as a reliable mass market car brand.





Even in India, Volkswagen is using Skoda's plant to roll out it's cars...|||Better quality and lower price. So, built by VW but not equal. From 2007:





German automaker Volkswagen (VOWG) is wielding a secret bullet to challenge rivals Toyota (TM) and General Motors (GM) in global markets鈥攁nd it isn't a new small car. It's VW's Czech-built Skoda cars. Lower-priced and higher-quality than similar models built by Volkswagen, Skoda's automobiles are driving a global growth jag, with sales up 13.2% in the first half of 2006. "Skoda has become the true Volkswagen (people's car)," says Commerzbank (CBKG) auto analyst Albrecht Denninghoff.|||See. Skoda is a division of a Volkswagon but I think personally Volkswagon is a better car company as it has cars and models ranging for all prices and usage whereas skoda has only few cars to suit you. My uncle recently bought a skoda Superb and a Volkswagon Jetta. As we know, both are almost of the same price range and usage. But he liked his Jetta better than his Skoda as bcoz of its low maintainence and better quality.





I hope I helped you out.|||not more than names
