There are almost no differences for me when I look at Yaris

Cant see changes like this doing anything for the future of the WRC. No-one but existing rally fans will notice the difference.#M-SPORTER

Well through the long history of this sport three nations have been consistently dominant:
Finland
Sweden
France
Nobody can really read Finnish and if you could it is all just drunken swearing anyway and all the Finns here have proudly agreed that is true, so no point in learning much of that..
Swedish and French should therefore have special status above all others..and should be at the top of the list of approved languages to speak/write about rally
Now in last years, thanks to God for burying all those dinosaurs millions of years ago off the Norwegian coast, and then turning them into oil, little Norway has has surprised the world and taken a place on the stage of VW rally...so we all should at least learn to read ny norsk...
One day when we can all argue the meaning of which country has the most--or most drivers--who have won WRC events (or the more interesting have done say 1st thru 6th) and we see platoons of English, Aussies, Ned-Zedders, maybe a Canadian or 2,
then we can rightfully say English should be on the podium as well.
And have rightfully earned status as co-equal.
After all, isn't some of the fun of traveling to do our sport learning new things like regional dialects?John Vanlandingham

I see no difference. Yes it is larger but it doesn't seems more spectacular. Actually it seems less.. but well it's just a couple of spots and aero are not ready yet.
I see no difference also in actual domination since these guys are already testing the new cars and others are in vacancy.

But this way VW just got some media attention that they are like ahead of others, but in reality they don't have anything yet. I'd say that aero changes aren't something that should be road tested as the first thing. This could be easily done in their closed facilities.

But minimum height is 1270mm, which is around the height of Porsche Cayman and a bit less than 992. Abarth 124 is 3-4 cm lower and Alpine is around 2 cm lower. Both BMW M2 and M4 are aroud 12cm...
