Why does it have to be "back"? Why not include Mercedes, or Honda, or GM?
Also I think you forgot Nissan.
I've changed your "Wich" to "Which" in the Thread and poll titles.I have a feeling Subaru will be the popular choice, I decided not to include Lancia as they simply no longer exist.
Mazda
MZRacing do Japan rallying.This. The 2 can easily be made into a legit WRC car.
In fact, there is a Mazda 3 that I believe that does Andros Ice Racing in France, but I don't think it is a factory effort:
Idk how Subaru can get back into WRC anyway they don't make a car that is Subcompact.
That had a very solid following here in the US, which really had little to do with Rally.Mitsubishi killed themselves by essentially pulling out of motorsport. They should have never left WRC.
Racing is marketing. Dropping out of WRC, which they were successful in, which sold them cars as well, was a mistake. Not the only one, but a mistake nonetheless. The fact that their best selling cars like the Eclipse and the Evolution are no more says a lot about their management. Can't wait to get an i-MiEV though, am I right?
Didn't they only drop out because WRC was starting to transition into their regs that basically made it only a game of subcompacts being the base of WRC cars?
Cars like the Lancer Evolution IX and Evolution X simply weren't competitive. Especially compared to the Evolution V and Evolution VI.Dropping out of WRC, which they were successful in, which sold them cars as well, was a mistake.
Anything under 3.9 metres in length is permitted under the rules now.Idk how Subaru can get back into WRC anyway they don't make a car that is Subcompact.
Here in the US, rally means little, and they still failed. That was my point.Racing is marketing. Dropping out of WRC, which they were successful in, which sold them cars as well, was a mistake.

A production-based Group N car won less rallies overall than top class Group A cars? Great insight.Cars like the Lancer Evolution IX and Evolution X simply weren't competitive. Especially compared to the Evolution V and Evolution VI.

They might come back if Peugeot feels like using that as a way to get exposureForgot Opel on the list...

I could see them doing something interesting if they ever fancied a return, maybe with the new Astra.
Personally though I would really want Subaru to return.
