Why the hell is their WRC car based on a 'countryman' and not the regular Mini? Looks ridiculous and will likely get thumped.

Absolutely, especially since Ford and Citro?n are moving down (from Focus to Fiesta, and from C4 to DS3).

Most likely a test bed for the rally. Looks good. I'll have one minus all the stickers.

@cale24 because Marketing says they need more free advertising of the new Countryman, so Countryman WRC it shall be. Doesn't everyone love the overstyling on this car? it looks so fierce and looks like it is going to eat up some Mitsu or Subee. (questionable)
