Fabia vRS demise

[Difinity]

Saw an article in the SMH today advising that Skoda is going to delete the vRS model from the Fabia range as demand is too low world wide. Bugger. Just after I got one. Bugger!

Not a big surprise there. Skoda has been starting to steal a bit too much of Volkswagens thunder for a while now. So time to make the next Fabia as boring and cheap looking as a Rapid so that if you want performance you step up and buy a Volkswagen GTI Polo or Golf. Also I think the performance 1.4L twincharger will soon disappear from all VAG models.

Don't you think it will be good for your resale?

MK4 R32's are valuable
Seat Cupra's attract higher prices than other cars their age
Your Fabia Vrs will be just the same :-)

Might be, but what so I look at when the lease is up? BRW: no resale for me 'cause of lease...

Skoda Octavia RS of course :) a 125 TDI would be an excellent lease vehicle

Yes, but I prefer something a bit smaller...

Depends if you bought a vRS at full retail or at the very low prices you can buy them at now.

Is there a thread on VWW about the Rapid that might finally arrive next year? I like the idea of a Corolla competitor at a Yaris price. Rapid seems to tick all the boxes and the wagon version looks nifty!
