Å koda Joyster Concept

This is the Å koda Joyster Concept, Å koda’s vision for a new B-segment compact car that might make it into production as the new Å koda Fabia hatchback in the year 2007. The current Å koda Fabia is based on the Volkswagen Polo platform – watch out for a test drive report soon on the Fabia 1.4 hatch.

Skoda is a company that has pretty much filled up the market segment where Volkswagen used to be – as Volkswagen has moved up a notch in the market, no longer concentrating on making cheap basic cars that everyone can afford.

The Skoda Joyster Concept design study will be presented alongside other innovations from Å koda Auto at the Paris Motor Show on Thursday 28th September, 2006.

    Hmmm… I did a chop based on the Skoda Roomster. It was my impression of a hatchback smaller than the Fabia. Maybe the new Fabia will look like my chop, albit bigger

    The Lancia Stratos glassware pops up every now and then, again and again proving that Bertone had a genius concept!

    Wished more cars had it. Amazing front visibility. However, looks like this concept jsut has disguised A pillars, real wrap-around greenhouses would be nice.

    Ever tried doing spirited drives up mountain passes often enough? You’d probably wished the A-pillar isn’t that intrusive, especially on that tight right hander.

    Comparatively speaking..,Savvy’s back reminds me of ULTRAMAN, but this front view,correct me if I’m wrong- looks like POWER RANGERS!!!!
    Wonder what will the next “new” P1 model going to look like..?

    guys… can we stop comparing and saying it looks a bit like like this, looks a bit like tat? becoz the fact is ALL cars tend to look like some other car in some way or another. This is due to designers using computers to give them the optimum use of space/safety/features, etc all in one.
    I don’t deny that some auto manufacturers do copy outright, but in most cases, it just looks like you’ve seen it some where before. Unless it’s a Citroen, then their designs are out of this world… :)
