Both of them look great at least, far better than I'd imagined, particularly the Skoda.

There are more videos of the new Fabia.

Agree that the new Fabia looks better than feared.

Any preliminary homologation date? Guessing end of the year?

didnt expect that they would hire Meeke for testing.

Meeke also tested (old) Fabia on tarmac last year cause Skoda wanted feedback.

I see no problem with using him as long as there are multiple others, the more feedback the better and a "commercial" car should suit as many drivers as possible

Citroen used Meeke and two inexperienced youngsters developing C3 WRC and according to Meeke didn't listen to him either.

What baffles me is the sound. It sounds trully as a 3-cylinder but I'm quite sure it is 4-cylinder engine (the only VW three cylinder is 1.0 TSI Evo). The sound is simply weird.
