Laukkanen is driving one in Kenya, probably for commercial reasons. I suppose it's a TMR built Sub, not the JRM one.
There's one too in USA, but I don't know if it's a JRM or something locally built. And a few in Finland, but it's TMR, not JRM cars.
This one is for sure a failure. It happened to late too ...
Maybe the new could be a success. Sub Canada, Sub USA, STI in Japan, ... some are already using the WRX STi 2015. Maybe it can have a commercial success if it well done. The car looks better, more agressiv, closer to a real rally car.

Yes but we speak about few cars here and there while there are thousands of N10-N16 everywhere. It's not a success to sell less gr.N cars than WRC.

I'd rather see JRM try to build a R-GT Nissan, with either the 370Z or GT-R than try to build a car which can't compete with R5's in WRC2. At least a R-GT would be a 'crowd pleaser'. The GpN cars are as dull as ditchwater.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Bryan Bouffier driving an OPEN N group car last weekend was able to win Polish championship round. An OPEN N group car is basically a Mitsubishi Lancer or Subaru Impreza with bodywork of a different car, a Ford Fiesta in this case. Bryan beat multiple R5s this time and he also was 2nd in a previous round a few weeks ago. If that kind of cars would get more popular then there would a market for Mitsubishi and Subaru, but not a direct brand exposure though.
