Funny you should say that, might consider that nearer the time, looking for a people type carrier around 2006...... hmmmm will ponder this over the next 2 years......

[C.J.]

THAT is just what I'll be looking for in less than 12 months time!

I think it looks totally outrageous and sincerly hope they don't numb it down too much for production.

Why have we got to wait 2 flamin years for it though..Dohh!

No the fabia won't be going...at all! Replacement for the Citroen to drag the caravan, my work stuff and the mob too.(taxi)

I love it.... esp the wheels can you them for a Fabia VRS???

Rear door only opens from one side as far as I can see - not very practical, I presume the UK version will open on the opposite side so the kids are stepping out into traffic, otherwise we would have to park our cars the wrong way around!

Looking at the photos in the press I wa sunsure about the looks of the Roomster, however when I was at the museum in July at the time of the Bohemia Rally they had one in the Museum on show. When I went back 2 weeks ago to take some more photos it was no longer there I will post some actual photos taken when I get a moment.

In the flesh the Roomster "study" looks great and the wife wants one when its launched :( , whether the final version looks the same we will have to wait and see. In Auto express a couple of weeks ago they said that VW disapproved at the futuristic styling and the designers were asked to think again, evidently the clever Czechs redesigned a booring replacement and VW agreed to proceed with the original as a basis

Love it, love it, love it! Excellent pics.

End of Sept I think. Is it me or have they nicked the front lights from the current 5 series BMW

[usico]

Paris Show runs from 25th Sept to 10th of October at the Porte de Versailles and entry is something piffiling like €7

Clicky

If you get the chance to go, it's fab; not least for the fact it's in Paris!

Just come back from Paris and the motorshow was fantastic. The new Octy combi 4x4 was there and the 05 facelift fabia. As far as I could understand the Fabia vRS was an 05 model as well but it looked no different internally than the 04. They also had the new octy hatch with the optical styling pack on it which looked pretty damm good.

Will get some picys asap.
