Well, honestly, I think marketing can't do miracles when the product itself is shit.

But DS has the e208 twin, DS3 Crossback, and still most do not separate Citroen and DS as different brands!
Same same, if a Norwegian importer want to use rally as a way to sell more cars, it is a good thing. Not many car importer companies in scandinavia use motorsport in their branding until now. Citroen used Petter some years ago, and sales went up many %, so lets see if Mads can do the same.
Lets hope more follows, maybe Hyundai?

TBH if Citroen didnt think it was worth carrying on without one of the top 3 WRC drivers, it's hard to see privateer Ostberg doing well enough to to promote them in one market.
Hyundai & Toyota should have most of the top 5 places tied up on every rally and then there's likely an M-Sport. The competition is brutal and ad money can be better spent elsewhere.

You should consider that the half of the good drivers will probably not be at the start of the most of the rallies across the next season. Latvala, Meeke, Paddon, Breen, Mikkelsen (except if those last ones really end up in satellite team). So it's pretty sure that Ostberg could finish on average 5th or 6th places everywhere - on Turkey maybe even higher.
