I contacted Skoda HQ to get confirmaton and to when a new VRS version would be available, Ondrej Tomsu from Customer Care promptly replied with the following response

Could this be the end of the Fabia VRS??
Hope Not!!

Hope this information is helpful for you.

There will surely be new Fabia RS! Most probably gas turbo cca 170HP. Staggered launch means hatch at the beginning of 2007, combi half a year later and RS another at least half a year.

Sorry, please could you repeat that - you've just ordered a what ?

I'm two weeks short of ordering an Elegance with sports suspension, but a TDi vRS would be exactly what I need! 60 miles a day commute, 2 kids etc.....

Any more info?!

Hi all

I was informed today by my Skoda dealer today that the planned change from Sahara to Cappuccino beige for Octavias was not going ahead (at least for the time being?) and that if I order my (wife's) favourite sahara beige, that's what we will get. Must say that the pictures that I've seen of the cappuccino beige look look a bit too greyish for my liking and I'd much prefer the Sahara.
Has anyone else heard this news?

as far as i know, sahara run out at the end of april. capuccino is now normally running (unless they restrict it for some markets due to high demand) and available so only sahara you can get now is a stock car. yes, capuccino is more into gray/dark silver

darnell · 03-08-2006, 09:51

I Hope its not true as I wanted Sahara but told not available so I went for Highland Green, will be dissapointed But I am sure my octy Estate will make up for it,as it is now with the dealer

Have I heard right, that the new Fabia will be available with 6 speed Tiptronic transmission, will this be the DSg as in the Octavia?

They're gonna carry on making the saloon and combi, but this means we should expect to see the new Fabia at the Paris Motorshow this year or Frankfurt next spring.

If you go to Skoda Auto - Welcome to Skoda Auto Homepage there is some stuff about the new Fabia, inc pics, and it will premier at the Geneva motor show in March.

New Fabia is going to be only 6-speed classical automatic without manual mode. So no Tiptronic, no DSG. Coupled with gas engine 1.6 105 bhp. Premiere of hatch at Geneva.

superskib · 10-01-2007, 20:09

Are the PTB brian dead, or do they have some ulterior motive?

In the niche market Skoda is the wrinkly brand (I am one) we want convenience and economy ie an automatic diesel. The 1.9 TDi is strong enough to power the new Octavia and the DSG is a revelation that offers sparkling performance and great fuel consumption.

Do they really want me to buy a Golf rather than a Skoda?

Mike Austin · 10-01-2007, 23:39

I am interested in the external dimensions of the new Fabia, because my garage is difficult to get into. Normally, I would expect new models to creep up in size, but look at this:

From Škoda UK - Showroom Fabia - Details - Technical Parameters

The hatchback is 3,970 mm long, 1,451 mm high and 1,893 mm wide, including door mirrors.

From The new Å koda Fabia - 1st Official Photo

The total length of the new Fabia has, thanks to the new design of the front bumper, increased. With its external measurements (3992 mm x 1642 mm x 1498 mm)

It is clearly a bit longer, but what about the other dimensions? Has it suddenly become very tall and narrow? Have I missed something?

MisterGT · 11-01-2007, 21:29

Is it me or does it look like a slightly bigger Suzuki Swift ? No bad thing as I like the Swift

JMK2 · 14-01-2007, 18:52

To me that looks better than I could ever imagine

Me thinks new car in June

okenobi · 04-03-2007, 18:14

Does nobody think the the new Fabia is ugly compared with the current one?

I'm not sure what to think about the TSI vRS either...

Conshine · 13-03-2007, 12:13

I think it looks alot better than the current one, can't wait for the vRS to appear next year, I'll have my name down on one for sure.

Hope no TSi, just leave it a Diesel like the current one.
