new fabia 3 real pics

[The Plumber]

After seeing the state of the roads in Prague and Mlada Boleslav last year, i now understand why all the models are so high leaving the factory!

 

When we went in 2011 I found the roads better than those we have in the East Riding

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty disappointed that they've just slapped the same front end on their whole range so they pretty much look identical... It's REALLY boring. I get that they have to have a brand image, but they don't all need to look exactly alike, surely?!

 

Firstly, it's not the same.

 

Secondly, most car manufacturers do this to an extent. SEAT are particularly guilty.

I know it's not exactly the same, but it's just too similar for my liking. Just my opinion, take it or leave it.

 

To be honest, most of the VAG cars seem to be going that way. All the cars in the VW lineup look almost exactly alike. It's a bit boring really.

The Monte Carlo, Greenline & Outdoor models are hardly likely to be all the same front, sides or rear.

 

Seeing what goes on the Motorshow stand will maybe show what is what,

or you will have to wait until after the first available renditions are on sale.

I'm sure it won't just be white...

 

For example:

It does look significantly better propoptioned than the current car:

And undisguised, actually looks really nice and quite a lot like the first design sketch!

 

 

[Leon-y-k]

That looks "just right"

[Ootohere]

That bit on the back edge of rear doors that gets the road grime is a PITA, you would think Car Designers could design to stop that.

It happens on so many cars no matter their price.

 

Rear Mud Flaps should be Fitted as Standard, then you can remove them if you wanted.

& fronts are going to be rather important i think on the New Fabia.

The dash photo looks better than the diagrams but I still prefer the Rapid layout.

And a few more...

Interior with brushed aluminium dash strip:

With an actual brushed aluminium strip or a plastic one with a brushed aluminium effect/pattern?

I'm really liking the shots of the mk3 so far I have to say. Looking forward to seeing the estate in the metal.

if this is like the monte carlo not liking the white down the window i like it to stop at the top

[Pauntley]

Seriously? That white roof and those wheels looks so wrong. This is not cool!

[Oli3000]

They're just demonstrating that it's possible to customise roof/mirrors/wheels. Clearly they weren't demonstrating it tastefully...

[The Plumber]

Depends on the market and I suppose the age of the target audience, might not be popular here but in other parts of Europe and the younger generation (to me anyway), it could be very well received.

 

Now if only the car was in rallye green, with black magic detailing and glass roof

In Burgundy please, with Shocking Pink Roof / A Pillars, Mirror Caps and wheels for me. 

I am in touch with my feminine side,

but could not live with a DS3's electrics, so it will have to be the Youthfulness, & Crispiness of the New Fabia.  Fully Connective as well. Lush!!

[snakemmor]

Tall and skinny.....who doesn't want to be that?!

Now if only the car was in rallye green, with black magic detailing and glass roof 

 

 

All will be possible I am sure

[RapidRonnie]

I don't think that would work on this car because it doesn't have the 'floating roof' / black A-pillars like the Fabia 2/Roomster/Yeti have. The a-pillars on this blend into the roof.

 

 

Seriously? That white roof and those wheels looks so wrong. This is not cool!

 

What, like on the Fabia 2 RS?

 

Race blue is a lovely colour but I think the lighter colours will work better on this Fabia 3 to show off the creases, as you can see on the silver one on the previous page.

[Ootohere]

All that being said,

Floating Roof or no Floating Roof, it has me thinking Floater,  as in a Floating Turd.  Not something you like to see, once seen never forgotten.

 

The White Roof and A Pillars really do look Gash,

and i do not think its only the Angle of the Picture.

 

We do need to see them in the flesh obviously.
