One thing for sure. Meeke will not appear behind wheel of VW Polo next coming years.

I think Capito just confirmed that Meeke is the second fastest guy in WRC.
Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

That was however Fabia II. I don't know what they currently sell in Russia to tell the truth. Anyway the Fabia R2 engine was built by private motoring engineer Mr. Kouřil, not by koda Motorsport. The whole car was only homologated by koda but otherwise it was all private initiative (still the engine was probably the best part of the car).
Anyway the point stays. The NA R2 engines are tailored racing units whereas I believe that the Fiesta R2T uses near stock engine.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

The only VAG car currently being sold with 1.6 NA engine in Europe is Rapid for Russian market (Fabia isn't officially on sale in Russia anymore). Theoretically the engine can be still used because FIA changed the rules for Opel but I don't see much reasons to do that. New 1.0 TSI sounds like a lot better option, also for marketing purposes.

Russian market is a bit different from typical european market (also because of fuel quality), so simpler engines are popular here. But still, NA engines needs much more tuning to give same results as those 1 and a bit litre turbo engines. Besides, they can make full use of beefy torque curve and possibly added reliability. Ok, not so spectacular, but who cares, if it wins?
