So it isn't fair to judge a car performance in one year.

I don´t think the bodyshell itself is different to any other car. The crossover is made by higher(longer) springs and just fool the consumer to believe he has a Land Rover.
So why shouldn´t prodrive make a sucess with this one? The have the experience anyway, no matter what the outcome of the joint venture with Subaru ended."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"
Tommi Mäkinen, back in the years...

And remember the Citroen Xsara got on the podium after just a few rallies, altough this was with Sebastien Loeb driving.

BMW/Mini will use services of PRODRIVE ???? Good, but what to expect against a team like Citroën Racing who assures the entire developpment/budget of the cars(look at Ford with M-Sport currently) ????

I think this thread is very full of pessi... oh sorry realism.. maybe you are right guys. But i sure hope that this will be great and i really think that prodrive has the right things to make a car work great. About the crossover thing yeah its a little bit strange, the car looks much bigger than the others but i cant wait untill the first draft of the design.

..or was he just involved in the 205, not 206? maybe I'm a bit mistaken here.. anyway, it's not a walk in the park.
