Volkswagen's Spanish subsidiary SEAT has a raft of new models to debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, but its Czech cousin isn't about to sit it out. In addition to unveiling the Greenline version of its Octavia model (now celebrating its 50th anniversary) and the Scout and S2000 versions of its smaller Fabia, Skoda will descent on the Swiss lakeside town with the production version of its new Yeti soft-roader.

Previewed by the Yeti concept from the 2005 Geneva show, the new Yeti is expected to be based on the company's slick Roomster cargo van, but with a more off-road bent to it. The 2005 concept car combined a rugged look with clean lines and a retro white roof, suitable for a vehicle that seems to cross the best elements of the MINI and the Toyota FJ Cruiser. While we count down to the opening of the Geneva Motor Show next month, you can read the press release after the jump and view the images of the 2005 Skoda Yeti concept in the mega gallery we've assembled below.
