Arizona auctions heat up

If you wanted to attend all of the automobile auctions in Arizona's Valley of the Sun this month, you already missed one if you didn't show up at the Scottsdale International Classic Cars Auction, Jan. 1-2. But there are plenty more.

New Saab 9-5 (2010) prices announced

Now the first new Saab 9-5 has rolled off the production line in Trollhatten this week, Saab are wasting no time marketing the car. They’ve sent us a price list for the 2010 Saab 9-5 for the UK, although they’re still not exactly clear when the first 9-5s will get to the UK.

Skoda Fabia vRS 2000 (an open-topped vRS) at Worthersee

Skoda Fabia vRS 2000 Concept Yes, it’s Wörthersee Tour time again. Which explains why we have an OTT Skoda on display - the Skoda Fabia vRS 2000. Finished in the same striking green as the production Skoda Fabia vRS, the vRS 2000 is a concept car put together just for the GTI-Treffen event in Worthersee and is based on the Fabia vRS 2000 rally car and, as Skoda boss said, Worthersee “…is a welcome opportunity for us to show off our sports models and make sure that everyone knows that Škoda really has something to offer here.” It would have been hard to believe even just a few years ago that a car like the vRS 200 could ever come out of Skoda, but we’re now at the point where, if you can set aside badge snobbery, Skoda often has more to offer than parent VW.
