Despite all the problems with the car new Polos are coming.
Szymon Ruta is testing his new car before Rally Poland:

Takamoto Katsuta is going to drive the new Fiesta R5 in Neste Rally Finland.
Polos are not coming, VW not releasing cars at the moment, until they will solve the fire issue. They already identified the problem and already new parts (similar to Skoda ones:) were tested during the week, should be tested tomorrow in official VWMOSP car. Seems it solves the problem. So bulletin should be released after the weekend and first updated parts should be ready for Sardegna. And then should be installed in currently build cars and those should be released to customers.
Do you think he will choose a Subaru? ;)

So fires solved. What about the rear suspension breakages ?

Rear suspension was not really that big issue, it happened twice only. It was pure low quality welding of the rear arm. So it's really easy to solve.
Much bigger issue was power steering, but seems to be solved soon also.
