It's an hatchback coupe, like Scirocco. Visually, one of the most striking common features in this type of bodywork is the gentle slope of the last column of the top/roof.Quote:

Funny how opinions can differ so much. That's the best looking BMW since the 2003 m3 if you ask me.Quote:

It is different bodyshell.Quote:

When do you guys think we can expect news from Ogier?

I was never a fan of BMW either even though it is the German car maker I like the best (bar small ones like Weissman etc).Quote:

"I would like to see him at M-Sport, but I see him at Citroën, because it seems so logical," said the Hyundai Belgian. In any case, I hope he will be there because a Championship without him would devalue the title. Nobody is unbeatable, but Seb is harder to beat than the others. "
"I would see him at M-Sport," attests Michel Nandan. Because it would be less difficult to beat a Ford? "Of course, a Seb Ogier at the wheel of a Citroen, it can be dreadful," admits the boss of Hyundai, amused.

The Scirocco is a seperate model and coupe bodyshell. There is a 3-door Golf which isnt called a coupe.Quote:

A Focus isn't an i20.Quote:

Funny how so many people inside WRC are now saying the order rule was unfair but they stood quiet during the last two years…Quote:

So the 2017 Polo isn't dead ... who are the private teams asking to run it then ??
Now You're trying to twist Your own statement while what You wrote before and what I answered simply wasn't true. Simple as that.Quote:

Bit silly when its not a different body shell to the 5-door. Plus they also have the Veloster which IS a coupe.
Does that mean another coming seasons of a team dominating the championship!! Please Heavens above NO...Quote:

we will see in a few days, Ogier will announce his new team then. thats why i dont believe it, ogier wouldnt announce so soon if this would be true.
2017 Polo would be good enough at the start of the season, but how well would it cope without being developed?
It's BGP001 all over again..Quote:

Hummm... interesting
It'd be developed like any other WRC car. VW Motorsport would still run and develop the '17 car all season long, besides renting and servicing the '16 cars. It'd be a win/win situation: no VW official involvement, the entry is made and paid by an external entity, but VW Motorsport could keep doing their job. A happy ending for the pull out mess!Quote:

The teams that have made all their development of the new 2017 cars on the 2016 tires will have to adapt to these new tires quickly.
