Skoda Fabia

not sure hareesh
like i said i heard it some where.need to confirm

Rtech · 10th February 2005, 16:39

Hey aadix, I highly doubt that Skoda has officially launched the Fabia. Maybe what's going on is that the dealers' have news that the Fabia will be launched in a month or 2, so the smart guy that he is, begins to spread the word out and takes in pre-orders. This would be like an amount of money paid (unofficially) in order to have priority once the car is launched. I guess they like the novelty of being the first with a new car in the city.

This way the dealer makes some money off the interest and gets a buyer hooked and willing to wait for those 2 months.

hey rtech
u might be right
one of my friends was telling that he's accepting 50 k as an booking amount unofficially,
again no confrimed report abt this
a call to skoda showroom made no change as they said they dont have much info,kindly come down to the showroom for more details

hmmm....need to ask dad to make a call....

If it's coming that late, I can't wait that long. I need a new car at least by June/July.

go for the Hyundai, but not the Viva, the normal saloon. It really is one good car backed by an excellent sales/serivice network.

The word is that it should be avalible by March/April, I'm looking to replace my palio with it. Now only if they also launched the Fabia RS 130BHP Diesel

) fabia soon.
