So yeah I dunno maybe it's a bad idea but I'm not convinced it couldn't fit.Quote:

I guess the Galant managed some points in the early 90s...
But I don't think a modern WRX could even qualify for WRC standards anymore
Not an ARA one but if done right with a transverse inline 4, there is no reason why it wouldn't.Quote:

Personally I'd say so, but I wouldn't put it past a manufacturer to bring something ungainly looking with only a few styling clues from the road car, like the Puma for example.Quote:
