The Skoda Joyster concept looks like it will get a production version, although we have to step back in time for this one - it was originally presented back in 2006 at the Paris Moto Show. The three-door sports model production rumour has been revealed by German magazine Autobild, who says that the VW Group has given the green light.

The Skoda Joyster will take on a slightly different role in its production version, and will probably be developed off the Volkswagen Up! model. The Up! itself will become the new Volkswagen Lupo citycar model, and the Joyster will represent the Czech brand in this segment.

The new compact car should be developed ready for sometime 2012 and will be a low-cost option to the Lupo. The VW Lupo will probably have a starting price of about 10,000 euros, while the Joyster should have an entry level price tag around the 9,000 mark (we would even hazard about 8,000 because 1,000 euros difference doesn’t seem enough to warrant a different model). We don’t know if Skoda, like Volkswagen, will develop its own electric version, too.
