I've read many different comments on the decision of Peugeot to change the name of the 208, though IMO this is the best: flat-over-crest comment
I take advantage to post also a pic that I posted before, now with resolution of 7087x3744 (6'9MB):

M-Sport won't homologate the R5 as was planned on April 1st... Only in July now.
Fiesta R5: Homologation verschoben*:: rallye-magazin.de
Somehow expected development...
Anyway What was the rush for them to homologate it early, without comprehensive testing. There are no competitors anyway for now, and the 208 R5 is planned for late autumn isn't it?
I think that the rush was in purpose to sell as many cars as possible since it would be only one available so soon.
True, but perhaps the reason is - money incomeQuote:

Neuville was suposed to drive new R5 Fiesta in Ypres, but if homologation is not before 1st of july that won't happen probably.
Yes that's for sure, MW is always about the money!Quote:

It should be faster, because FIA donīt want only cheaper alternative of S2000/1,6T S2000 but they also wants to totally replace this old cathegory with new R5...but we will see.Quote:
