VRS release

[pologti18t]

I was wondering when the VRS was to be released.
Received an email from Skoda Aus.... seems like June 2012.

Yep, Yeti 112/118TSI in the next few weeks and May/June is what I've read for the Fabs RS, DSG, wagon and Roomster. After that I'm not sure what thy'll have product wise; Citigo, Lauretta/Rapid, new Octavia, Yeti facelift, Touareg-sized SUV, Superb facelift and the new Fabia will be out in the next few years.

They've already stuffed up by prolonging the Fabia RS/wagon/auto for so long. The Roomster should have never been released here. The Citigo should be here this year because it's been claimed to be one of the best Skodas ever made, and the VW up! is going on sale pretty soon.

Oh the things I'd do to product if I were at Skoda Australia...

I really don't think VW will allow the Citigo to take early sales from the UP! so I imagine the UP! will be released here first and the Citigo some time later. The Citigo, is considered the better buy in Europe because it is cheaper so it could put a hole in the UP!s sales, if the public catch on that is.

Regarding the Fabia vRS, my brother (who works at a Skoda dealership) emailed me today to say that he has a Fabia vRS due in early next week. This will be the normal hatch body style.

He has a wagon on order for the dealership as well but its still on the water.

Im keen to see what the hype is around this car and the twincharge 1.4L engine, ill report back with my thoughts after driving it.

Given the number of Škodas around Canberra I'm pretty unimpressed the website doesn't supply prices for ACT post codes.

It gives prices for Queanbeyan :-/

Massive rip off. Skoda are once again treating the Australian market with contempt.

u mean "VW Aus treating the Australian market with contempt". don't forget who's the boss here, pulling all the strings.

Went to the opening match at Skoda Stadium on Saturday night - GWS Giants vs Essendon.

There were quite a few little Fabia RS's scattered around the place. Not a bad turnout for an opening match either (12,000 people), so some good and much needed brand awareness for Skoda...
