the fiesta looks sick though.

I didn't read the whole article, but i bet its because subaru quit wrc. They don't even have a team anymore.

Hopefully Ford starts selling some cars now and the US car business can pull itself out of the crapper.

well the wrc changed the rules for engine types and the boxer 2.5 doesnt agree witht hose so subaru would have to redesign their engine which is kinda their strong point. so subaru is no longer in wrc. but they are still in other circuits so no worries boys. pastrana is still rolling on subaru. as seen on new years.

That kind of fucks that whole STI/Snowmobile project then. I wonder how much Ford is paying him to drive their gay ass cars.

SRT USA has to put 2 liters in all their cars. A small engine change wasnt the reason they left the WRC.

Interview with the coordinator of the subaru WRC team:
Q What is the main reason of the withdrawal? Concern of worsening of the business performance?
A There are many elements involved rather than just one. However, if you insist, we have achieved our initial objective to improve the brand recognition. And also given the unprecedented economic situation deterioration, it was necessary to review our investments. These are the main reasons.
