Am I the only one who thinks that WRC cars don't need more power than now? I think they should have focused on finding a way to have more different cars between manufacturers, keeping the same level of power and grip. I can't enter in technical discussions, and I don't know how it can be done but I do think more variety should have been the main purpose.
As for now I think cars are fast enough by the way.

Yes, the current cars are fast enough. As ever, those 'in the know' - are addressing the wrong issues.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

I believe more power isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if they add more grip via aero/width/suspension, then that just makes the cars go from point A to point B faster. Not necessarily making the car more spectacular.
If you watch Hayden Paddon at Otago last weekend (example http://youtu.be/PScjE2GuZbw ), sideways into blind crests everywhere, THATS spectacular and is a great display of driving skill and confidence in the car. We need more of that type of action, not the boring nose end first/tidy style which looks more like watching WTCC.
That I believe is why some have mentioned Group A too, more limited tyre tech, moderate power and limited suspension travel meant the cars were more spectacular as they were thrown at corners.

You don't need to implement the Grp A regulations but only some parts of it like engine size, car size (2/4 door sedans) and the general look/sound of those cars.
The celica and the Subaru Impreza 555 Group A are really amazing sounding cars. Today's cars are too small. It speaks for itself that a fiesta that is much smaller and light
compared to an Impreza or a Lancer is more "gocart-ish". It's the basic law of physics.
I also agree that the actual rallies needs to have a more feeling of endurance then they have today. I think there is something wrong when not
even the Swedish rally have any proper "dark-stages". By 5pm all stages are complete and that includes a long lunch break....Funny how ev'rything was roses when we held on to the guns...
