We love quick news days here at the Daily Car Blog, especially when the sun is shining and the temperatures are just perfect. Nothing quite like basking in the warm glow of summer while dodging the relentless attempts of car brands to pull the wool over our eyes with their marketing smoke and mirrors.

Our days brighten up when we spot car brands making obvious attempts to gaslight us with their marketing and lure us into drinking their Kool-Aid. Here is one example, there was a time when the Skoda Superb estate was a simply cleverly disguised Volkswagen Passat, it had its own design language.

Not anymore.

The exterior of the new generation Skoda Superb estate is barely distinguishable from the Volkswagen Passat estate. The cost-cutting insult continues for the interior. The “new” generation Skoda Superb carries over the interior from the previous generation Passat. Simply Clever.

So why should you buy a Skoda Superb? Let me try to convince you with this new Sleeper Edition, the key facts:

The Volkswagen Skoda Superb Passat is Sleeper Edition is based on the “standard and unassuming” 280PS estate variant. However, a new larger turbo and fuel system boosts performance to 477PS and 661Nm.

Further upgrades include a modified chassis with upgraded suspension and larger brakes.

Price? Not confirmed but you’re an idiot if you drink the Kool-Aid and decide to buy one. It’s called the Sleeper Editon for a reason because it will make you fall into a permanent state of sleep.

In conclusion, don’t buy the Volkswagen Skoda Superb Passat estate Sleeper Edition… you fool.
