Agree with the last two posts. VW did a lot for Skoda, but even before that there was quite a history of excellent engineering, despite the occupation.
As somone who owned the Fabia vRS Mk1 SE, I would have liked another newer version, but the Mk2 was nothing special - just another 'hot hatch'. And the MK3 Fabia doesn't even have a vRS version. I know plenty of people have left Skoda because that car doesn't exist.
They never did anything to showcase their S2000 car - apart from a 'Monte-Carlo' Fabia, which was a 1.2 petrol, I think...... They should have made something different; like a Fabia (Petrol/ Diesel. Manual/ Auto) with 200+BHP & 4WD, but you get the feeling that's not what the bean counters at VW really wanted for the brand.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

"Fancy a VW WRC drive ? It will be possible, says team boss Sven Smeets. @VolkswagenRally to rent out the 2016 machinery"

His next tweet with photo of 2017 polo read "Whereas this beast will get it's homologation but not the final stamp. It will never be used. Pity but true. They worked so hard" https://twitter.com/MiikaWuorela/sta...22273025093632Last edited by KiwiWRCfan; 16th November 2016 at 09:48. Reason: insert missing word into sentence

I don't understand why they will go to the bother of finalising the homologation process if the car "will never be used"

Guys sorry for the OT and the stupid request.
But may some kind admin delete the red exclamation mark in the title of the thread? It bothers me to see it all the time.
Thanks.Last edited by AL14; 16th November 2016 at 13:25.
