Skoda will produce a vehicles based on the Volkswagen Up small car platform, a new report finds. The new model will help Skoda to increase its production at the automaker’s plants in Russia, India and China. The new model will also help Skoda meet the growing demand for small cars in developing markets.
The smallest car in Skoda’s current lineup is the Fabia, but the Skoda-badged Up promises to be even smaller.
VW recently announced that it could begin Up production in India as soon as 2011. VW will produce the Up in three different markets in 2010, but the German automaker has yet to name the locations.
At least one version of the Up is headed to the U.S.

Ugly AND unreliable. It’s about time Aveo had competition.

The only thing going UP right now is the volume of my laughter at this city-street touring, uber-economy having, artistic-integrity-mobile. Ladies and gents I present the Uber Pile, ****tyness dressed up as a shiny German VW.

By the time UP will come anywhere price of oil will be above 120/barrel. If it is made in Check Republic, it may be quite reliable. In Spain I saw a lot of Skoda cabs, some with 250,000 miles on odometers (400,000 km). Spaniards prefer them to local and cheaper Seat (same VW diesel & tranny). Checks have great engineering skills, don’t confuse them with Mexico (source of N.A. VW Golf & Jetta). Skoda handles like communist car should, but it lasts.
