Press: Škoda preparing new model bigger than Fabia and cheaper than Octavia

Car-maker Škoda Auto is planning to introduce a new vehicle that would be bigger than the company’s Fabia and cheaper than the Octavia, the newspaper Mladá fronta Dnes reported. The new car, for which no name has yet been announced, would replace the Octavia Tour older model, which is currently being sold alongside a newer Octavia. The German-owned Škoda plans to produce the new model at a plant in Vrchlabí, east Bohemia. Production could begin in the latter part of 2010, Mladá fronta Dnes said.
