I would say the hatch has had quite a bit more success than the hawkeye now. But imo the hawk in the rallying world wasn't a new car, it was just a facelift of the blobeye which was already starting to struggle by 2005/6 when the hawk was introduced (mainly due to other competitors developing faster!)
Maybe it takes a few years for complete new models to peak? Newages introduced in 2000, 3 years later Petter won the title. Hatches introduced in 2008, and we're now 3 years later
