Spotted this in the last 'Autocar' news section (21st dec), not sure if anyone has already posted about it. For those who missed it...

'Skoda is planning a small run of World Rally Championship-edition Fabias with the awesome styling of its WRC car. Skoda chairman Detlef Wittig recently said the company is keen to make the most of its rally championship by bringing "WRC features to our production models." This could include a 197bhp turbo petrol engine and the rally car's huge rear wing and flared arches.' (Autocar)

197bhp in a fabia, wouldn't that make it faster than a golf gti, as it is a smaller car And cheaper obviously. I wonder if i can afford the insurance.
