Exactly - it's just as bad as an i20 or Shitroen DogShit3

Rally is about speed, performances and reliability of a car in a first istance. Aesthetics come after.

Correct, the aesthetics should come afterwards rather than trying to make a dreadful product look good. However 2017 is the time to do something about the poor choice of cars used in the WRC.

Toyota, Ford, VW and Hyundai sell very well around the world compared to Citroen.... So why are Citroen still in the sport?

That's why Citroen have entered the WTCC with the C-Elysse; there are more events in the far east, and developing countries. Is the C-Elysse even available in Europe??

Of the recent WRC cars I think the original Fiesta WRC is the best-looking and I would certainly like a body-kitted road version of such a car ...
