That’s what I’ve been saying for ages! The C3 was a fiasco and all major players have their faults on it, from designers to test drivers and overall managers. During the 9 months spent testing the car before homologation, everybody felt it was ok and only after MC they realize it wasn’t; worse: they were clueless about the way to fix it, no matter how much they all look for improvements. Meeke kamikaze driving style was also far from being helpful; among the frustration, suddenly a narrative arouse in the press: Meeke was a victim of the stubborn French. A totally unfair and biased line once we look back and realize the French were Meeke main supporters through his rally career and the staff actually respected him.

Anyway, Citroen got rid of all C3 initial players and they’re now working on a clean sheet, while Meeke is also having a fresh start in Toyota. Let’s avoid wasting time with the troubled past and look forward, wishing Citroen and Meeke the best luck in the world.
