Surprised to read in Zigwheels Supplement with todays Economic Times that SKODA is planning to launch Fabia with a Boot (in lines with SWIFT+Boot=Dzire) by the year end. Engine options are 1.4 16V Petrol and Diesel. Looks are same from front except added Boot space in the rear, which looks quite similar to DZIRE. Good Fabia is here to stay!

Saw the same zigwheels article. however, on careful reading, it is given as the 'author's impression/imagination" of the 'booted version'. the author sure lack imagination and the image given along the article is just a photoshopped image in which the boot of the old fiat petra was edited and added to the body of fabia..

its really ugly and whoever imagined in such an ugly manner needs to be employed by maruti Confused pretty sure that skoda won't come up with such an ugly thing

Like Swift Dzire the Fabia with a boot will compete for the worst look.
I think this was available in europe 10 years ago.

thanks for the link orion.. have seen the model before, but its 10 years old and have been discontinued Smile

times have changed and almost all skodas global models have been updated. so lets hope for a beautiful model..else skoda ought to be 'booted' Twisted Evil
