Still waiting for some videos from our Czech friends though! :)

Are there more areas then the width Skoda is updating for 2010 ?

Of course ;)

Since I guess you actually know, and therefor cant say, I am guessing engine, and suspension, any more areas ?

Is the engine a CZ made, VAG made or ouside VAG made ?

No, I don't know exactly but I'm sure they'll use possible changes in homologation.

Engine is made by French company Oreca.

Fantastic compilation video of the Fabia here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FdswbL00NA

Skoda presented the facelift version of the Fabia with new lower, wider front grille and slightly different headlights. I believe we should see the new wider Fabia S2000 with the facelift front in Brazil?

Fabia RS with 132KW 1.4TSI should be presented next week at Geneva :)

Very good pictures but I think it doesn't sound like S2000.
And those hideous alloys of RS ...

Anyway, "very good" as a TV Ad.

I much prefer the wheels on the Fabia Sportline: http://www.skoda-auto.cz/cze/model/n...sportline.aspx

And Skoda made an error launching the RS with the black roof, it doesn't look right with the green and it should have been white roof, white wheels, green body like the S2000 car.

However I may still buy one :)

The roof is optional in silver, white or black.And the rims colour too :)

I know, nice range of choice. But I still think the Skoda launch photos and choice of colour for the showcar was bad!

I'm thinking black body, silver roof, silver wheels. Or blue car/white roof, or red/white, green white... :D

There's a video here, although it's not very good:

The car still bangs nicely though, and the caption says that Vouilloz was at the test... promising :)

Very nice sound!

Has any of the drivers said anything on how the differences btw the original Fabia and the evo (1 or 2) is ?

Chris Brugger told me that his car (HA 550 GK) are chassis #30 and Norbert Herczig (KI 521 CR) are chassis #69. Someone can confirm?

Awesome look of that car i really like because black color of the car is my favorite and i read all the specification of this version of the car its totally matched with my mind thinking...
