ECONOMY and luxury are two words at opposite ends of the scale. No one expects luxury to be cheap, nor thrift to be luxurious -- so consumers are forced to choose a compromise between the two.

At least that is the case most of the time -- but that hasn't stopped Skoda from trying to combine the two.

Its GreenLine models sport a number of tweaks designed to eke out more miles for each litre of fuel, but the Superb is the largest car to take on this particular challenge.

The Superb, in its more common form, is an impressive machine, mixing a hi-tech feel with comfort and luxury -- but how does that translate into the GreenLine?

Well, it's actually quite hard to spot one in the first place. If you don't notice the small badge and the dinky spoiler on the boot lid, the GreenLine looks the same as any other Superb.
