Exactly - it's just as bad as an i20 or Shitroen DogShit3

Rally is about speed, performances and reliability of a car in a first istance. Aesthetics come after.

Correct, the aesthetics should come afterwards rather than trying to make a dreadful product look good. However 2017 is the time to do something about the poor choice of cars used in the WRC.

"Shitroen" made me laugh :)

Toyota, Ford, VW and Hyundai sell very well around the world compared to Citroen.... So why are Citroen still in the sport?

That's why Citroen have entered the WTCC with the C-Elysse; there are more events in the far east, and developing countries. Is the C-Elysse even available in Europe??

Of the recent WRC cars I think the original Fiesta WRC is the best-looking and I would certainly like a body-kitted road version of such a car ...

If the sound remains that good I can (partially) forgive them the ugliness of the car.
