I've seen some trailers and I'm not greatly impressed. The grip levels on loose surfaces were already too high in Dirt 4 and now seem even higher. The physics on tarmac seem bizarre, with so much drifting it looks like the cars are running on gravel tyres. The tracks are also very flat with few bumps - have these guys ever watched a rally?
There are no classic rallies for licensing reasons - so no RAC, no Monte, no Finland, no Acropolis. And there is no MyStage or editor, despite many requests. Overall, a poor effort.
Dirt rally is still probably the best of the series, although its a little too forgiving on corner entry.
If you want to get annoyed, go back to Richard Burns Rally and ask why rally sims have gone backwards in 15 years. This is still the one most hardcore fans play - there is even a modern physics update.
