Wow, 210bhp? That is Cooper JCW territory. This little gen just gets better and better. Btw, why are you comparing it to the Evo X and Impreza? They are in a different league!

my thoughts exactly. i thought WCF had stopped making these minor (though incredibly noticable) journalistic errors. evidently i was mistaken.

It's the same engine as the Mini Cooper S and probably has many of the sane tweaks. And that will be its natural competitor along with the Clio RS. I don't understand why the Impreza and Evo even get a mention.

Not the std Cooper S engine, it's got to be the JCW at that sort of power output.

They mention the Evo and the Impreza because of the WRC.

I like it. 210 bhp is awsome for a car of its size. Hopefully Citroen has gone back to their ability to make hot hatches like they did with last saxo vtr, vts.

This is definately in the league of Renault Clio RS Peugeot 207 MINI JCW...C5 is in the league of Impreza Evolution etc. C4 is with Golf Astra C'EED Megane etc.

There must be some mistake in this article, the only way this car will make it to the WRC is if it competes in the J-WRC Super 1600. In which case, it won't be up against the bigger out of its class Lancer and Impreza, it will be up against its natural street competition, the Fiesta, Swift, Clio, etc.
