If it was just a short term thing for rally Norway though, perhaps...
But otherwise i would be rather suprised if he did not get an at least 2008 spec Focus or C4.
So when is the press conference, as we all know the truth in here?
The key question in this case, I think, is whether Citroën or Ford has any motivation whatsoever in supplying Petter Solberg with a really competitive car. Why should they, if they suspect that Petter actually is capable of beating their guys (and steal points in the championship from their own title candidates)?
Latest rumours says that Petter had a deal with Citroën for a Xsara, and Petter wanted latest 2006 spec. on the car (read: Loeb 06 New Zealand spec). What Citroën now wants to sell him is more or less a customer spec. Xsara - a car which Citroën knows is no threat to Loeb this year and furthermore Petter knows he will not be able to be competitive in.
In that case take drive RN in Grondahl's S10 or even a Skoda or Celica. Maybe even a Abarth S2000 car.Quote:

Um,guys,I dont agree with you.....
I think it would be better for them to have a strong driver on their side.
Citroen had good use from Duval in Germany,Catalunya and Corsica.He couldnt beat Seb but he could beat the Fords
Same for Petter (do you really think Petter can beat Loeb...........no he cant)
I barely dare, but on this topic I can't stop myself from posting a link to a blog post on EXACTLY that subject. It's a Citroen habit, I'm afraid: http://www.maxattack.net/2009/01/pet...wrc-in-norway/Quote:
