I, for one, am glad the Skoda isn't romping away with it! It sounds so much worse than both the S2000 and PSA R5 cars (arguably worse even than the Fiesta R5) and I guess that's why it looks so unspectacular on passes. I can't see this car getting the same love as the previous iteration unless they can do something about that.

On the other hand, Bouffier and Abbring are doing a great job if proving how exciting R5s can be when driven on the edge.
