True - but the Fiesta and Hyundai at least look great as WRC cars (the Yaris is ugly). The R5 cars are also a good looking bunch - the Fabia in particular is a great looking car.

This isn't a new idea. Mini ran with the Countryman.
Not for me thanks. I hate the road going 'Crossovers' (take a hatchback and make it worse) and seeing them in top level rallying would pretty much kill any interest for me. A Crossover in full tarmac rally spec? Errr no thanks. Remember the Suzuki SX4? Pig ugly.
