should be in motorsports.however, from what I have read today, it's not necessarily the money, it's the new regs for '10. they will need an entirely new car to race in '10 WRC series. just doesn't seem cost effective and SOA has announced they would like to be back into WRC, but will really depend on what happens with a new car or not. too bad... they have a great team

well, the issue will be they will have to make a car that will only be able to compete in the WRC and not other rally venues. hard to make that cost effective. then you have to have more vehicles (expensive) to really do well in the rally america and european circuits.

Yeah the N/A 2dr coupe may be their next car in the WRC. Time will tell. I can't see them pull out of WRC for long... Subaru and WRC go hand in hand like grandma's cookies and a glass of warm milk.
