It looks as if Skoda is about to go exploring again. This is the Fabia Scout – a rugged version of the new Estate. As with the Octavia and Roomster Scout variants, it has protective body mouldings and a raised ride height. To that it adds a handy, fold-out rear ledge and a system of luggage straps in the boot. With more room than a Volvo V50 and chunky looks, it should prove popular when it goes on sale next year, priced from around 12,000. A facelifted Octavia will also arrive in 2008.

The shots reveal the new-look nose, which is inspired by the 9X concept first shown at the German exhibition four years ago. The angular lines are far more aggressive than the current model"s, but designers have not gone overboard with the revisions, in order to avoid alienating conservative buyers.

The Ford Transit SportVan...

The Ford Transit SportVan takes its inspiration from the firm"s ST car. Offering space and pace, Ford and Toyota pulled the wraps off the pair at the recent Commercial Vehicle Show at the NEC in Birmingham.

ange and features Performance Blue paintwork with white bonnet stripes, a silver front undertray, twin exhaust pipes and a bodykit.

Mean 18-inch alloys riding on low-profile 235/45 section tyres complete the look. Inside, there are leather seats and luxurious equipment including air-conditioning and a six CD changer. However, there"s no ST-like turbo engine under the bonnet. Based on the front-wheel-drive, short-wheelbase Transit 260, the newcomer has the same 128bhp TDCi engine. A limited run of SportVans goes on sale in June, priced 18,750.

The Hilux Sport Concept, mean-while, boasts a lot more firepower than standard with a modified 3.0-litre 200bhp D-4D turbodiesel - 31bhp more than the regular model. The one-off Hilux features 22-inch alloys, a chrome grille, tinted windows and lights, plus lurid stickers.
