I found watching Rally Finland that the WRC cars looked really small and meek (pardon the pun) after watching all the 2017 car tests...

I actually agree with Stefan that the -17 cars look more spectacular. They are ugly as crap so far and I don't imagine Msport or Hyundai will change that... probably neither toyota nor VW after they get their new body shells, but from a standpoint of spectacularity they look to me to be an improvement so far.
I was very sceptical in the beginning, but I have changed my mind after seeing some testing videos. The real shame is that they allowed for more extreme outer dimensions, making the cars uglier. The internal changes seem all good and well so they could have kept the looks and gone for the bigger restrictor and active center diff...
btw, the new cars will use R5 engines. where current R5s get their engine? from the production base car and then they tune the engines for racing? what new engines the current Polos (privateers) are...
