    I can't help but think that the Polo looks a bit 'cheap' next to the Fabia.

    Cheap plastic dashboard with no flocking, accelerator pedal from the production car, fixed pedal box, no sill protection, etc etc

    Maybe the new Polo should have the classic Volkswagen Motorsport livery from the eighties?

    Doesnt really matter because just like with everyday cars people will stand in line to buy the Polo while the much cheaper and just as effective unit (Fabia R5) will be left behind.

    Its just like with the production Polo, why would anyone pay 8% extra when they can simply buy a Ibiza which is exactly the same car.

    Still nonsense when it comes to rallycars. Besides that I don't know how did You come to a conclusion that Polo R5 is more expensive than Fabia R5 when nearly all R5 cost the same - what rules allow.

    I understand they will pretty much cost the same, but I feel like the Fabia will be cheaper on the 2nd hand market. Some teams using Fabia already confirmed the intention to change for the Polo in 2019. I mean, whats the point in that?! I really dont see why they want to have two cars in the same category, based on the same platform and with so many equal components. Might aswell retire the Fabia and sell only Polo's.
