    The bodyshell looks like it’s mounted too far forward, large front overhang and no rear overhang…it’s probably for aero, but looks odd.

    Agree with the first point, not so sure on the second. Maybe when the electric power is working? I can only presume on the Yaris tarmac video it was not.

    I think the Yaris with the park bench stuck on the rear hatch will give it a pretty good run for it’s money..

    Eye tests are always a bit iffy and folk will have different views, but for me the Puma looks better and quicker than the Yaris. Ofcourse they could be at different stages in their development, but I quite like what I see from the Ford considering it's Matt Wilson driving ( a guy who is miles off the pace in the BRC).

    Useless to compare tarmac and gravel testing. Different surface, different setups....

    I agree, the Puma looks quicker than before in that clip. Encouraging!

    Also the ALS on the Toyota sounds great, reminds me of the Mini WRC

    Those 2 clips give me cause for hope. I wouldnt like to lose the current wow factor of watching these cars live

    Puma test with great launch giving the full sound plus what looks like a fan running at the rear:
