I was just browsing another Rally Forum over the last few days while this one was getting updated and came acoss this.
Apologies if this has been discussed before but it sounds very exciting.

The last paragraph is what I'm referring to in particular. It reads...

'However, as the plans for Fiat’s ambitious 2007 rally programme become clearer, news emerges that the carmaker is targeting nothing less than a return to a fully-fledged FIA World Rally Championship programme. Claudio Berro, currently responsible for the Fiat rally operation, revealed to Autosprint magazine that if the Super2000 regulations are not eventually adopted for the premier series, then Fiat will propose building a full WRC-specification machine, capable of taking their challenge right to the front. “A World Car Rally version of the Grande Punto will depend on the evolution of the regulations,” Berro recently told the magazine.'

Thanks to Martini Lancia for finding this on the other forum.
