The ongoing trends in the automotive world go directly against usability of said cars in competition and as such it makes sense to ease the rules to allow the teams to build a rally car no matter what they produce in stock. In the current world it makes sense and I am not against it. I would be against twenty years a go but not in 2019.
In what way? They seem to manage now and Fiesta, i20, Yaris, C3, Fabia, Polo etc are all pretty mainstream.

the only one who has ever beaten ogier in equal machinery was loeb, when ogier was still learning.
I'm not convinced rovanpera would have been champion is ogier did a full season. And i'm equally...
If Ogier was unbeatable in hybrid era, he wouldn't have crashed in 3 rallies a row chasing title last year.
