When is an all-new Skoda Octavia likely to be announced?

I'm trying to find out when the Skoda Octavia will be replaced. I know it was facelifted, which suggests a new model is in the pipeline. Can you help? Would you choose the 1.6 or 2.0 diesel? The book suggests there is a little difference in MPG - are these figures roughly accurate?

The Golf Mk VI is really a rehash of the Mk V, so there won't be a new Octavia until there is a new Golf-size VAG platform.
