i can't even begin to explain how upset i'd be if Solberg were to leave subaru......however...the only other place i'd want him to race is side by side w/ Sebastian Loeb....that'd be sick....Loeb is nasty..and i love the way those citroens look...

but it deff sucks that mistu is no more in the world of rally...

Creamy white?? Oh no.... I hope it isn't a pee white like the Chrysler 300C's version, that's awful.

i don't think anyone is soaking their panties... we're just expressing some dissapointment that Mitsu doesn't sound like they will be i participating in the WRC any more. official statement or not, it sounds like it's pretty set in stone...

But now, company bosses have told the rally team that the withdrawal will be permanent.

I love how people equate participating in WRC to being in/out of rallying in general. There aren't even homologation rules in WRC anymore! Ever seen a new 2.0L Turbo AWD Peugeot? I think not. There is, however, group N rallying, which has been in, and most likely will continue in, regardless of whether they participate in WRC.

I knew it, I mentioned a while back that Mitsu has to be not involved in WRC anymore. You can't make the classy refined EVO X and still make it a competitive rally car too. Look at the next STI hatch that says "I am a rally car" all over it, definitly not the EVO X.

So, if car looks too nice and classy it can't compete? That the stupidest thing I heard today. WOW, retarded actually. Looks has nothing to do with it, unless you are talking about functional aerodynamics. It can look like a piece of turd or a luxury car as long as it has the performance to compete, that's what matters.

Yeah agreed, if they don't make a race-worthy RS version of the X, then I'll concede rallying is doomed...

Your Bold line don't mean jack because of the line after that

NOTHING HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED so there you have it. That statement went out the window, is that really hard to comprehend lol.

Until its announced i can write a bunch of bull**** too and its as worthless as a grain of salt.
