Will the new S14 be right up with Ford and Citroen right out of the box ?
Will this be the car that gives the Subaru team the right tool to fight for victories again.

i think we are only going to get minor improvments......i doubt the car will be a winner.
No.. At least not this year :D
but that's what I think
Same here, BUT if it has at least a little more speed, then the retirements will be from higher places on the leaderboard than 5th or 7th :)
Corny, is it Capirossi?
Couldn't be much worse :)
S14 WRC will win 2009, no wins in 2008.
No ;)Quote:

I am expecting a full charge for both titles in 2009!
I think the new car will be ready to go straight out of the box,and will win at least 3 rallies this year.But If this car does not win this season it definately won't next and that will probably be the last we see of Subaru.
I don't know if any of you have looked at the 2009 WRC Calendar, but the events all really suite Subaru, and Petter especially.
If the car is even only a slight improvement on the 2007 version, I'd expect Subaru to challenge for the Manufacturer's title, as Petter as lead driver will win events like GB and Norway for example, and with Chris as a very close 2nd driver, the future looks bright - not bleak - to me!
