    Still think Hyundai is the best looking -17 car. They seem to have taken some inspiration from the other teams...

    EDIT: It is interesting... they are allowed slots in the rear wheel arches for what I assumed was brake cooling and the Hyundai has much smaller slots than the other teams. I guess the slot is used for other things in the other teams, like blowing the diffuser or something

    I really like the honeycomb crash structure on the doors of the new WRC cars. This is safety vise the weakest point on a rally car, and great to see it taken seriously!

    Hyundai starting to look very good.
    Front very Msport-inspired. Rear wing very much like VW/Citroën with the "GT upper mountings".
    "Coupé-like" roof line should be an advantage getting air on the rear wing.
    That it looks absolutely bad ass is no bad thing either!

    Finally WRC-cars are starting to look the business again.

    No, no. You just missed what John VanLAndingham was trying to educate:

    Saab 96 (eg. 92) was designed by an aeroplane manufacturer in Sweden. Had wing design. Reasons by that time was oc to reduce wind resistance(?). A legacy to the 96 winning model.

    I really like the look of the car. For me together with Fiesta the best looking one.

    I may have a bit of soft spot for Fiesta because I spent some months of my life working on it (stock one)
