They do not, because
- Cars will be more costly to buy
- Cars will be more advanced and harder and more costly to maintain.
- It takes time to get a good 2. hand market for people to start. Today you can buy an old Fabia R5 and fight in the top, in national series. Would be stupid from FIA to kill off the most successful carclass they have.

I'm not sure hybrid in rally cars does much at all for selling road cars, even with the Rally1's. Putting it in Rally2's would have little effect for the promotion of it on the road models which have been around for years already.
If anyone takes anything from rallying to decide their purchase its probably sportiness, toughness and reliability.

Toyota has tested their new Rally2 car last week, but it's still all officially a secret.

About time! With the new Fabia coming on-line soon we need another manufacturer to keep them honest and you have to assume Toyota/TGMR will do a proper job.

Didn't Latvala say they would develop a Rally3 car first as there was less competition?

Good news but they could've done all this much sooner.
The Yaris AP4 car running down-under has been doing well and I'm sure Toyota could've used some of the info from that to get going instead of looking at all the other Rally2 cars.
