You don't build a brand new large motorsport facility if you don't have some serious long time plans. Good.

maybe this will be real after all.
Oh please, not that hideous SUV (in racing context, apart from Dakar).
You don't know what types of cars will be used in years, my bet is on SUV-s. On the roads there are more and more thee things. So on marketing point is total sense. Yes it's stupid but hey stupid is also electric technology but it can't be avoided if the world will turn into that direction.
If they will come back that would be awesome, no matter what car they will be using. What matters is that there will be at least 3 new seats available (if everyone remains into the game). And (if) this will happen, Pontus, stay in the team!
Well, there were ideas about Mondeo, Passat, C5 and I40 WRC a few years ago...luckily they were abondened. SUVs are popular yes, but they sell themselves hopefully. In rally-mode, especially on tarmac, they would look really silly, like a small estate (another hard thing to bring that car down).
When is a new or facelifted Fabia due?
Love the idea of comeback to segment D. Big cars
FYI some of the biggest cars of it's era...
Audi Qattro S1 4,24 m
Mercedes SLC450 4,75 m
Focus WRC 06 4,36 m
Octavia WRC 4,51 m
Now modern stock cars of seg. D...
Opel Insignia 4,90 m
Ford Mondeo 4,87
Škoda Superb 4,86 m
Do You really want those huge things which are about as nimble as the London bus to compete on stages? Also consider that many of those cars are of about same width in stock configuration as the WRC limit or even wider...
Biggest, more balance to turn :)
