haha good one!Quote:

I notice all the 2017 cars, now including the Toyota, seem to have a plain front with similar front aero (just a big splitter).

Whereas the Fiesta has more on either side of the grill, blending into the front wheelarches...

I wonder who has it right ?
TBH, most are only bashing it's looks.Quote:

If you need to taste the pile of shit to find out its shit then go ahead.
Actually I asked all guys except you. Your version of answer I already knew.Quote:

Toyota should also maybe give Bouffier a call, as he would be a good driver to test on tarmac and has good experience as a test driver. However this should've been done 6months ago, not weeks before homologation.....

They both look silly to me, but the Fiesta does look more intricate and refined in this respect. The front bumper splitter on the Yaris looks particularly homemade.Quote:

Big sense of humour even if you´d not admit it. :)Quote:

They may not have tested the whole car, but it's entirely possible Ford gave them the bodywork some time ago to do their aero testing with in a tunnel. Of course we will never know for sure. But I agree, Ford does look the most complete for front end aero design, but I am no expert!!!Quote:

I expect good things from Toyota again. Inevitably results will be slow, but they will return as they were before.
Thanks Bowler...looking forward to seeing them back again! Lots of competition but it only adds to the excitement to see so many manufacturers competing :)Quote:

Dunno about you, but I'm starting to think this thing is becoming quite pretty again. If they just get a serious livery on that thing it will look pretty decent given the size and the silly overhangs in all directions.
wrong. In last 10 days there has been many international drivers visiting TGR HQQuote:

But why would they pick Suninen over Lappi? Can't see them having 4 finns in one team with only 2 cars, if rumors about Latvala are true.
maybe cuz Suninen are privater and Lappi still have contract with Skoda?
