Toyota announces WRC plans

**Gregor-y** · 12th January 2016, 20:11

Either way Subaru's Lafayette plant isn't making Toyotas past this year. Production is increasing for the barge-sized Outback and Subaru wants to start building Imprezas there since the raised suspension CrossTrek had been a good seller, too. There are also plans for a large US/Canada only SUV of some kind. There's a big expansion and over a thousand new jobs to handle the switch, while Toyota's plant in Kentucky will have to increase production of the Camry.

I bet Toyota builds some WRC cars to a mild spec and uses them for gravel duties. Or use Subarus, which are cheaper than the Golf R or Focus RS.

Recce car can only be a standard road car or production (Group N) under the regulations.
