I’m not judging the speed, speed is only relative against the others and until the first rally, we won’t know. What you can do is look at the attitude of the car, and see what it’s doing and in my opinion, there are a couple things it’s doing better than current fiesta.

The comments about VW 2017 car are even more funny. Are we supposed to believe that the VW that dominated WRC completely and spend all their testdays during most of 2016 on new car (not even testing for rallies) suddenly make so big design mistake that it forced them to quit WRC? (the post implies this).

All 3 VW drivers (who drove multiple other 2017 cars later) said that VW would likely have been either best or one of the best cars.

Yeah agree

Others are making those VW comments and Wuorela says he is not believing on those rumours...

For me looks like Wuorela thinks like those 3 ex VW drivers...

Well Mikkelsen was praising VW Polo 2017 as very impressive car
