Geneva 2009 - Škoda stand through a camera
A visit to the Skoda stand at this year’s Geneva Motor Show is well worth it. On both press days and during the days for the general public there were lots of interesting things to see.
The world premiere of the Škoda models Yeti, Fabia Scout and Octavia GreenLine on the days put aside for the media and specialists to the Škoda Auto stand attracted not only large numbers of photographers, journalists and television crews, but also VIP guests, car specialists and representatives of importers and exhibitors.
On the rest of the days the general public had a change to familiarise itself with the Yeti and the entire production range, as well as, for instance, the new Fabia Super 2000 sports special. Other attractions had been prepared for visitors on the stand as well as the cars. The Surface interactive multimedia table, table hockey, or a team of hostesses who created postcards for anyone interested with their own portrait on them in the company, for instance, of the new Yeti, its live mascot or elegant models. Yet another reason why the Skoda Auto stand was constantly busy.

Representatives of the parent concern, media representatives and other guests were welcomed at the start of the press conference by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Škoda Auto, Reinhard Jung. |

 |
| So what does this new model really look like then? The last moments before unveiling stretched out forever... |
|
... but now both the Yeti and representatives of the Škoda brand and ravishing hostesses are at the disposal of camera lenses. |
 |
|
 |
| The formalities are over, it is time to get to work. Each innovation must be examined in detail, photographed, but above all everything must be recorded in detail; what if Skoda had something we haven’t got....? |
|
The unique system of opening the fifth TwinDoor on the Superb is a real technical treat, which was why it was subject to constant interest from specialists and regular visitors. |
 |
|
 |
The general public displayed great interest in the Sports Design Concept...
|
|
... as well as the Scout Design Concept, both on the basis of the Škoda Fabia.
|
 |
|
 |
| Anyone who yielded to the offer made by elegant photographers received a colour postcard from the Škoda stand with their own portrait after just a couple of minutes. |
|
Traces of the new Yeti were everywhere to be seen at the Skoda Auto exhibition at this year’s international Geneva Motor Show! |
