    The current generation of cars were a big step up in terms of looks and performance compared to the previous generation. 2022 cars would have given the same effect at the time.

    I tend to agree, not getting the juices flowing just yet. It may well be a sound thing, but the Toyota just looked slow 🤷🏻*♂️

    With the extra weight it must need it for these big jumps.

    Of course it's still early - plus you have to temper your expectations with the 2022-spec after the 'golden era' of the 2017-2021 mega-tech, mega-aero cars.

    My only real disappointment so far (with the Puma), is M-Sport has gone from the prettiest WRC car to the ugliest, now that its been fully-revealed in its true 5-door body.

    It's probably same or similar as Rally2. It makes little sense to limit the travel more.

    I don't see a rear door there but yeah, the bodyshell is likely the same size, although they are allowed to scale it.
