[WRC] News & Rumours 2020

That is one of biggest problems of rally nowadays. Make groups will not fight one against other. 1 win, yes! But 1 loose. Some little percentages ok, it is possible. But how explain Peugeot loose to Citroën? Or the vice-versa? The funds come from where?

I had same thought one day. How many big automotive mergers actually we have?

Daimler are currently alone as far as my memory serves me

BMW Mini Rolls-Royce

VW Audi Škoda SEAT Porsche Bugatti Bentley Lamborghini

PSA-FCA has Maserati Alfa Romeo Lancia FIAT Dodge Chrysler Peugeot Citroën Opel/Vauxhall

Renault Nissan Dacia Lada

Toyota has Daihatsu, Lexus and Subaru (only 20%)

TATA Jaguar Land Rover

Hyundai Kia

GM has Chevrolet GMC Buick Cadillac Holden

Ford
Suzuki
Mazda
Mitsubishi
Honda


Not much to choose if we count in who already participates, who is not interested and are driven by their global policies, some of them do not have the right segment cars and market share, some of them are not doing well...
In that light I would be happy if no manufacture leaves and we have one more to join.

Daimler have a hook up with Nissan/Renault for some stuff, the X Class is a Nissan underneath.

Toyota also have collaboration with PSA, for the Aygo/1008 and BMW for the Z4/Supra..

The lines a blurred everywhere you look these days.

Is's Aygo/107/C1 but this collaboration is going to an end. Since 2021 Toyota takes over the factory in Kolín, CZ, and the joint venture will be over. Toyota will produce Yaris there.

Anyway these are only joint ventures like many others (Mitsubishi/Kia/Hyundai engine cooperation for example). Those are not about the brand ownership sharing.
