|  Fabia VRS had it's day ? With the new one on the horizon (and these pictures giving a few clues) do you think the Fabia now looks a little long in the tooth ? If I were considering buying the new Race Blue one, I'd seriously think i'd made the wrong decision regardless of leather and a CD multichanger. Wait for the new one.

| Re: Fabia VRS had it's day ? They say that that rear spoiler will probably make it to the vRS? Are they on drugs?

| Re: Fabia VRS had it's day ? It's all very exciting but are we going to have all the guessing and rumours for a year until the official word is had from Skoda? After all, they could decide to retire the vRS model for the Fabia altogether! |

| Re: Fabia VRS had it's day ? the current vRS doesn't really have any of the styling details of the WRC car, so how would the upcoming version look anything like this rally car

The front bumper and spoiler are rally "inspired"...... (and that somehow makes up for it??!!)

| Re: Fabia VRS had it's day ? The current one has the aerodynamic properties of a brick (and a smoked one at that ) - that said, I'm quite happy with the idea of having it back soon |
