Chauvanism aside, I don't see how ther can even be a question.
And...look a VW....'bout the same size as a old Golf II

Not your mother's Polo anymore! I really like these new WRC cars.

I think VW & Ogier are going to give Citroen and Loeb a run for their money next year.

Assuming Loeb can be bothered to stick around...

See I dunna know bout youse guys but a road like that inspires something in me, it in and of itself is a challenge just by exisiting,.
It says, not screams but simply says 'try me...come on..try me"


damn good driving, looks like a good car--I am not sure if its using the right restrictor yet (in previous testing they weren't), yeah yeah, like whatever.
But the road (slurp---wiping unsightly spittle from chin). the road.(sigh)

But how well will it do in Greece? Do WRC VW's break a lot? If they're built half as well as Citroens, then WRC 2013 is going to be kinda gnarly. Dudebrah.

Don't worry your noodle bout things like that, just look at the roads and the driving...
Ya know what..
I was also unconsciously happy cause its not these stupid boring video game derived IN-CAR shit...

So there! "Ain't it marvvy we can see a CAR well driven?"

consider (dudebrah):
* Skoda Fabia is one of the top (if not _the_ top) S2000 car - both in speed and reliability.
* Skoda is part of VAG, and thus being used (afaik) as the basis for the VW WRC car
* VAG's recent motorsports history (ie. Audi @ LeMans, VW @ Dakar) hasn't shown them to do it half-assed.

WRC 2013 will definitely be interesting.
(now, if only Ford could step up their game...)

If that's the case then the Frenchies should watch out for their buttholes, because they just found some stiff competition.

Or not, because they like those sorts of things. Because they're French.
