Sounds like they were pretty upset at their lackluture performances this year. The question of course is: Is there going to be an Evo VIIII and X (the VIII is all but ready)?

They're thinking of using the Colt instead of the Lancer! [rolleyes]

 

(probably after seeing the success of the Focus and Pug206 [;)] )

 

The new Evo8 is on sale already but will only arrive in March ...

 

If they manage to pull it off with the Colt...let's hope the price of Evos drop [laugh]

 

Who cares if the px of the Colts soar??? [:p]

Actually even the Focus is having a hard time keeping up with the 206, because it's from a size class down (same class as the Fiesta) with the same power, and the shorter wheelbase gives it extra maneouverability, one of the reasons why it blasted everyone else away...

It'll never end? [:p]

 

Ford with switch to the Fiesta while Mitsubishi will switch to the Colt

 

and then....

 

206 will switch to 106 [:p]

 

and the mighty Rex will switch to the new Vivio (if there's one)!!!!

 

no more muscle cars [thumbsdown][laugh][laugh][laugh]

Think I read somewhere that they're gonna use the Fiesta in some other rallies but not the WRC [:/]

 

To me... muscle cars are like the Rex and the Evos...big and powerful [:p]

 

Hatches in the WRC are just cute fast cars to me [sweatdrop][sweatdrop][sweatdrop]

Wow. I wouldn't dare call a Focus RS (at two-thirds the power of the WRC) "cute" by any means... [sweatdrop][laugh]

 

Why not ? Personally i think it's rather cu.... [laugh]

 

Then again, maybe they should consider a Focus RS sedan - now that would be cute.

 

[laugh][laugh]

I think its for the same reason Mitsubishi and Pug does not take part in F1. Peugeot did but pulled out after the Prost team went bankrupt.

 

Very tight resources .... look at Ford. They take part in both and are in trouble financially, not too mention not doing too well in both series.
