Fabia 2011??

Anyone got a heads up of when the Fabia will arrive and in what configurations and price? I was expecting it before the 3rd Q. Any news will be good news.

The Yeti was supposed to arrive Q1 and that only has 4 days to go with no announcements.

It was originally first quarter and then Skoda Aus announced a July landing for the Yeti and I assume that's because that's when the MY12 models will come on stream (colour and trim shuffles, a few new wheel designs, different-coloured roofs as an option, electric-folding mirrors on higher-specs, tables on the back of the front seats as an option and the option to also get the front passenger seat as a fold-flat design to put surfboards or long Ikea furniture in). I wish they'd have the 1.4TSI instead of the 1.2TSI in the local line-up however...

My prediction is that Fabia will happen before the end of this year, but I think it'll just scrape it in. Whether it'll be RS only or they'll bring in a wide range is something I'm not sure about. The Polo GTI is $33k on-road for the 5-door, so Skoda would have to get it in at $30k on-road to represent some of the best value in the country (which the Polo GTI is currently regarded as). I have to say that I wasn't really that impressed with the Fabia when I sat in it in NZ a few months ago but each to their own I guess. I know it will push Skoda sales up, that's for sure.

Thanks. I was hoping for it to come in a good trim like the superb. That might be wishful thinking though.

According to this the launch of Fabia and Yeti is set for July. Just check this out:

I am not convinced though that Fabia will sell well here. I reckon Yeti has more chance. The pricing on Fabia will be pretty steep and I do not think they will manage to get enough traffic through showrooms. Also wagon version and RS (!!!) does not come until end of the year. I think wagon should be available from word go. So Yeti is better positioned for the market launch, me thinks.
