2012 Skoda Fabia REVIEW
2012 Skoda Fabia vRS extreme drive REVIEW - People will tell you they love character. That they love quirk and eccentricity, that it’s important to be ‘just that little bit different’. They will then buy a Volkswagen. Proper non-linear choices are for other people, excuses mumbled and quickly forgotten as daydreams get furiously battered by resale values and the potential for disparaging sucking of teeth down the pub. It takes a brave soul to really buck the system. Which is Skoda’s niche. A company providing an excuse to buy a VW without actually buying a VW. The rather elegant paradox of conformist non-conformity.
Skoda Fabia vRS has unveiled a brilliant new Fabia vRS TV ad which takes the original ‘cakes’ concept and slams it into the middle of next week. Julie Andrews has gone and has been replaced by a menacing Goth-like soundtrack. With snakes, vultures and pierced gentlemen, the overall effect is less ‘Sound of Music’ and more ‘Hell’s Kitchen’.
