your comments ?? :confused:

MPV looks like a Nissan Prairie :thumbdwn:

4x4 is a great car and had some great write ups

I like the way they refer to "without having an image problem" for the Octy 4x4; Skoda's finally made it lol

personally i enjoyed the final bit, and cheaper than a forrester!!

seemed a bit random to me but still funny

I like the octi 4x4, I wouldn't mind taking one out on a test drive.

hmmmm I would how much torque the clutch and running gear can take?

if it has a 6 speed box then plenty

will probably be the same box as the S3,TT 225 and CUPRA R

i'm sure a techie will know better

I think it only has the 5 speed box, cant see anything on the website to state either way :confused:

Must admit MPV looks pretty crap, very van like. What is intresting is;

"could be part of a freshening of the whole Fabia range, including styling upgrades and some new powerplants."

Could we see the 2.0 140bhp TDI in an updated Fabia VRS ? Or maybe even the introduction of the petrol FSI engines to the range ? DSG ?

Good gracious, they've just stuck random bits of glass to that Furby MPV! :eek:

Looks like the Yaris Verso thing to me...

4x4 looks good. Strange they didn't fit the 2.0 TDI though, as Autocar point out.

isnt the 4x4 out :confused: how come its new?
