It looks for sure faster than 2015 car but it's completely different than Polo. Anyway it seems to be spectacular car :)

For me it again (like Paddon in Sweden) looks like its a little bit stiffly sprung compared to the VW. Its off course difficult to say if its the springs/dampers etc. But where the VW is benign, sucking up bumps, the Hyundai hops and darts.
It looks good on initial turn in - much better than the 15. But mid corner, or in corner where You have an actual direction change, it still looks like it has understeering tendencies. This doesn't have to be a bad thing.
It looks faster than the 15 - but this is very difficult to judge - but it does not look like a revolution.
For me the car seems at its best when there is around 70-80% grip. Then it looks drivable, and benign. More grip and the pointing, darting jumping starts. Less grip, and its sliding everywhere.
But since we have not seen it compared to the other WRC cars, its very difficult, and it can be results of set up, grip levels, strategy, etc etc.
It will be very exiting to follow. I really hope this is a tool to challenge VW, it would be great for the championship!
