Likely: Toyota

Possible: Hyundai (KIA), Skoda

Unlikely: Mazda, Saab

I don't know if there are any other manufacturers who would be even interested in the WRC after these folks

Toyota surely with the next-gen Auris? They've had enough S2000 experience with satellite teams, they have a nice factory in Cologne to prep the cars from.

With VW announcement Skoda must be less likely...the Pug/Citroen days for PSA were an error, esp from Pug's side with the 307CC.

I read on eWRC.cz that Henning Solberg is skipping Argentina, officially because he is out of budget, but the real reason is the reliability of the Fiesta WRC?

if no one knows exactly were will be the test of ford this weekend in Greece please send me an email
Thanks

Look at this.
