If this rumor is true, I don't expect Auris.. It's an old model already. Maybe that is just a pick of that magazine to have a picture there.

I think we all want this to happen. I know I do. Not that im a huge Toyota fan or anything, but for the sake of the sport I love a manufacturer with the pedigree and history is required. Toyota fit that bill perfectly.
As for that idea of Subaru and Mitsubishi sitting and waiting for the right moment... I got the impression that Mitsubishi dont have the money for a full WRC return, but Subaru might, assuming that the see a need to market their cars in the same fashion again.

Saab will not happen I am affraid. Spyker bought Saab with loaned money and money from the Saab dealers. They cannot afford a million euro WRC project.

It might just be a publicity stunt but if they are using the floorpan and the engine from the mini surely this reduces development costs considerably. Saab might enter as a manufacturer team but with the make up of a private team. This approach might just suit Spyker.

While I really hope all these stories are true, call me cynical, isn’t it funny they’re all happening at the same time? I hope they’re not all put out by NorthOne.
However;
Ford,
Citroen,
Mini,
Toyota,
VW,
Saab,
With maybe 2-4 factory seats per team, thing could be looking up.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
