I just learned that Skoda went with the slogan "Simply Clever" in 2001, about their innovations that would facilitate the daily use of a car


In 1925, Laurin and Klement / Škoda 110 demonstrated the brand's innovativeness by making the spare tire easy to use, folding down the 2nd row of seats so back row passengers would have more space for comfort, and tilting windshield for cooling the driver.

The Simply Clever concept was first introduced in 2001 when Škoda introduced umbrellas in the driver's door for the first time, and in 2003 sophisticated equipment features such as sliding rear seats or swiveling front seats, an ice scraper in the fuel filler cap, which now also offers a guage for checking the tread depth of the tires, a broom in the glove compartment, a luggage compartment cover behind the rear seat support, and a removable LED flashlight in the luggage compartment.

How did they come up with these ideas? Simple. Just paying attention to customer satisfaction surveys instead of ignoring them like most companies.

They even have a sweet simple website that lists the customer focused implementations: https://www.skoda-storyboard.com/en/skodapedia





By the way, this funnel is a part, that you can order, and it fits on other washer fluid reservoirs - so, if you like it, and want to try it on your car and get rid of the lame cap your car company uses


for about 6 dollars and shipping  https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/audi-vw-washer-fluid-reservoir-cap-genuine-skoda-000096706

or on Ebay


I bet Jalopnik never did a post on this innovative part.
