@Don Jippo: yes i thought the same, but he really said this here:
"Das glaube ich auch nicht, dass diese Angst besteht. Es ist nicht leicht zu erklären. Fakt ist, dass die Teile, die heute im C4 verbaut sind, auch schon im letztjährigen Xsara eingebaut waren."
fact is that the parts wich are today in the c4 where in last years xsara...
@ Tom: he said in part 2 of the interview that he loved the whale, for 2006 this was the best combination, but there was no chance of improving or/and developing at peugeot and the competition is much harder than last year, so he thinks that with citroen there is a better chance of improvement and development...

The problem is that last year Stohl was in the best 307 in the field. This year he's in a previous-generation car, a car that he's said he had problems getting comfortable with, that's far below works standard. This year he has to keep the Citroen factory happy by not beating them; last year he was the best Peugeot out there and no one was attempting to reign in his performance.Quote:

I had told once already. :D What you see is not always what it is..........
So Citroën was played a false game in 2006.............?!?
I have not been surprised about this.
Most here believe really that big teams or factories are no impostors!
Belief me! Business is always to deceive for the money.....or for the honour of the name!!!
Is Loeb really a super driver without Citroën and Michelin????????
The future will say it. I think as Citroën disappear in the WRC Loeb also will disappear and move to the Le Mans series. :s mokin:
in rallying you dont develop the whole car as such, but parts of it!Quote:

sorry for my english, but i hope you get what i wanted to say ;)
