Skoda Fabia Scout – UK Launch
Skoda brought us a preview of the Fabia Scout at the Geneva Motor Show this year, and have announced that the car is now up for grabs in the UK. We were a little underwhelmed when the Skoda Fabia Scout was revealed, and we really haven’t changed our minds. We can’t argue that Skodas […]
Skoda Octavia GreenLine – UK Release
It wasn’t exactly the biggest announcement at the Geneva Motor Show this year, but Skoda did let us know that they were adding the Skoda Octavia GreenLine to their range of Eco-Skodas, joining the Fabia GreenLine and the Superb Green Line to make up Skoda’s Economy range. To be honest, we didn’t report it then, […]
VW BlueSport looks certain – but will there be a VW version?
There has certainly been a great deal of conjecture in the motoring press about the VW BlueSport concept, ever since it was first revealed at the Detroit Motor show at the beginning of the year. We’ve been as guilty as the rest of talking the project up, and we’ve seen a Skoda BlueSport, a Seat […]
Porsche rejects BlueSport Concept
The VW BlueSport concept debuted at the Detroit Motor Show in January, and offered the prospect of an economical, fun roadster from the VW group. But at the time VW made it clear that the car would have to work across three of its brands to be viable. VW are obviously up for the project, […]
Skoda Yeti rolls out
Skoda revealed the Skoda Yeti at the Geneva Motor Show in March, and has announced this week that the first car has rolled off the production line in Kvasiny in the Czech Republic. The Skoda Yeti is a promising, rufty-tufty ‘SmallRoader’, based on parent company VW’s Tiguan. But the Skoda holds the promise of more […]
Skoda Ocatvia vRS gets a new face
The Skoda Octavia vRS is a cracking car – one of Skoda’s best. Great performance and handling and not at all bad looking. Even better, it comes as a saloon and an estate – fun for every occasion. In keeping with the changes made to the rest of the Octavia range late last year, Skoda […]
Skoda BlueSport Roadster looking likely
Back in January, at the time of the Detroit Motor Show, we brought news of a compact VW Roadster concept that was reckoned to be ready for sign off by VW as an Audi and a VW economical, fun little Roadster, along the lines of the old British Sports cars from a previous generation, and […]
Skoda launches the Yeti – (N)ice to see you!
Well, it is Saturday, and It’s been a long week (we were writing news stories at 3am on Tuesday, for goodness sake!) so excuse the obvious puns. It’s a bit of Geneva catch-up weekend, making sure we’ve covered all the Geneva launches worth mentioning. And although we brought news on the Yeti pre-Geneva, as expected […]
Skoda Yeti ready to launch
Skoda has had its ups and downs, even more than most car companies. Once a maker of luxurious cars, it ended up making communist skips, but has returned to be a marque to reckon with since VW took control. Back in 2005, Skoda revealed a small, urban concept called the Skoda Yeti. Based on the […]
