I've seen the road car, and it looks horrible.
The rally car might be good, but it won't be introduced until Finland so it will be too late. 2009 maybe...

Here is a picture of the car. It looks better the the street version.

Yes I have seen pictures of that before Fabian, it looks better, not I think the C4 and Focus do look better.
This Impreza is a hatchback, very suitable for rallying..

Yes.
Subaru was so slow to go the step to hatchback cars.

The old Impreza was over 13 years old, because it was launched in 1993. It was just updated every five years.
But this Impreza is nasty looking, apprently very few people like it and it will be changed...

Well by the look of it there will be no Rally GB in 2009, only Rally Ireland with GB back in 2010. Surely this has to be the death of the series in this country surely, what with the lack of British interest at the front of the field.

Well, the organisers don't appear to be very loyal to rallies do they?
Rally GB has been their for ages, so they just decide to cut it off - simple as that?
The crowds which come look pretty decent.

Finland
Greece
GB
Theese rallies have a long tradition.

:iagree:
Yup, these rallies must stay, if you lose those, you lose the tradition of rallying. I see the FIA are trying to expend into new market's, like F1.
