In this weeks autoexpress, from the back in looks the same.

I like it. It looks modern and fresh. I hope they do the vRS

Im sure they will do a Fabia 2 vRS, its been a real sucess for Skoda.

More than likely 2.0 diesel I reckon, if so then should have an FMIC as std like the Octavia 2. What will people spend thier pennies on eh?

So, where is the pic then? :confused:

Here, read the review as well. Well, if you can.

Must say I like it.

Not read the review - is there talk of a 3 door?

And a vRS should look good, with a 2.0 TDI and FMIC, then it will definitely be the next car.

By then I hope to have a play thing too... Keep the vRS for normal use, and only softly tuned like my current one!

EDIT - sorry, read the review now. A 3 door vRS for me please!

Oh dear...

Oh dear...

Me thinks that the Vrs will be slightly better than the granny cart shown in these pictures. remember the Fabia 'spy' shots of the Fabia when it was being drummed up, Awful.

If I'd had been on the Skoda design team, it would of looked more like this...

More like the mark 1...

agreeded the blue one with the pic form the front does look like a granny cart(roof rails dont do it any favours), but im sure it will grow on me............. a little

Actually it's growing on me. Hope they up spec the classic to inc Electric windows and central locking.

That orange might persuade some ASBO wannabees to keep the faith.

And the windows - ok not cool but they do mean you can see out (unlike the B*W 1 series)

I quite like the new shape. Doubt it will be practical for me when I'm in a position to change cars though. That's likely to be 4-5 years from now and I can see me needing more space. Suppose it depends if they increase the interior space, and by how much :rubchin:

Do like the thinking on the next vRS though - it would certainly be tempting

The design is inconsistent. That rear window looks odd sharply cutting off at the C-pillar. It probably looks hot from the rear, less the egg-headed rear clusters, but I can't get over the thought that they're taking the Fabia the 'SsangYong' way and following a 'Yaris' design.

Note: Notice how mucch bigger the front wheel in the pic of the red car is than the rear wheel!

Ain't that blue one with roofrails the new roomster? I think mkII Fobia looks awful. And what I read somewhere else the new vRS would be that twincharged petrol 1.4 that vw pronounced last autumn.

Its a common mod in the UK, I am running 17's up front and 16's at the rear.

Yes, I also read that somewhere (where was that ?) it will be a 1.4 as above.

I see there is a small indentation along the bottom of the back along the exhaust. Is this to try and catch all the crap that attaches itself all over the back of the current one?

EDIT: Oh and the side windows look like they have been stolen from a Renault Megane

I could see myself driving the mk II, providing they make diesel vRS with the 2 litre engine. And as for the blue car, if people would actually read what's being said they'd know it's the new Roomster. They're merely saying that mkII is adopting some features from the front of the Roomster which is shown above...

As for the 1.4 twin charged model, I wouldn't mind seeing it as an option to get more sales for the car - but personally I wouldn't buy a car with an engine like that. Too much power out of a 1.4 litre petrol engine, I doubt it'll last very long.

Just my 2c...

...uups wrong topic..

I have just been out for lunch and a toyota corrolla past me. I saw it from the same angle as the pic of this new fabia and they look very very similar

The Corolla hatch and Fabia look similar ANYWAY man. Saw them in Cyprus when I was there and I thought the two looked so alike.

Its a common mod in the UK, I am running 17's up front and 16's at the rear.

I know you're trying to get me again, and it ain't workin'. I'm not so gullible anymore

See Mil a couple of chats in MSN with us is enough to start picking up that sarcasm gene. You should come in more often.

You cant blame me for trying though

Had me chuckling regardless!
