Hi Guys and Gals from CZ,

Looking forward to that!

Heres some photo's as promised:-

John

Looks Excellent !!,

However, it is an optical illiusion I know but, The Fabia looks loads bigger than the Octy in the background !!

Thanks for posting the Pics John

:cheers:

Graham

Awesome

It looks brilliant actually like the road going one, unlike the 206 which looks ungainly due to bumper extensions. Is it true Peugoet are launching a 307 rally car because it would seem a stupid decision with that car coming out!

The Fabia in a test mpeg I have, has some kind of grey / silver scaling on the paintwork. Is the white / green / red layout as the above pics the official Fabia WRC colours? Just wondering.

Jason,

I think I know the mpeg you mean - to me, it looked more like it had been covered in grey stickers to hold everything together

Nice to see a gravel version too!

Thanks John, great pics...

Yes.

But they are suffering some delays...

(Must be failing the moose test then )

Great pic's -- let's hope it wins.

Dare I ask?

Ah the famous Elk of Merc A class fame......high speed avoidance/service test.

Cause Merc A and Smart to roll!!:eek:

Ha ha, thank Sweden for the moose/elk test Mercedes excuse when fliping over during a test by swedish car magazine was hilarious. They said it was an unrealistic way to test a car:rolleyes: Yeah, right! Maybe that is becouse they don't have any moose or elk in Germany The RS, omn the other hand, did very well in the moose test:) Managed nearly 80km/h before loosing grip. Didn't even flip over:D With wider tyres it would have been even faster I guess.

Pug must have something up their sleeve - or down their trousers - to enter the 307. That car has such a high CoG, it's almost a midi-MPV. Well, OK, it is a midi-MPV. How can such a proposition be competitive?

Next up is Opel entering the Zafira!

(Was behind one today - it swerved all over the road trying to make a fast corner, while I was sitting comfortably behind it, then having to back off enormously. They should have a law against those cars or forbid their buyers to drive it like that. It was plain dangerous!)

Hmm talking of Vauxhall people carriers is anyone else really annoyed by that Vauxhall Merviva advert? It drives me insane, and reading about the car is worse, it's a copy of the Ford Fusion, it's dimensions are so similar!

And yet it entered the Dutch sales charts for June straight into fifth, causing Opel to leap back in the overall lead.

Tells you how much the avg buyer knows about cars.

Hmm well I still haven't seen one yet, so I don't know if it is out- not that I really care! It seems silly to base a big tall car on the Corsa, it really is just a tall supermini rather than a full out people carrier if that is what people want then why not buy a Zafira or the new Scenic? The Ford Fusion if the exact same thing as the Meriva a tall car based on asupermini

Thought the "innovative independent rear audio" sounded interesting, and wondered how it worked.

Basically, there are two head phone sockets in the back...
