Hopefully Suzuki will follow Ford in another way and have a good car ready for the next WRC formula.

It's a shame. Always good to see another manufacturer supporting WRC and when they leave, it leaves us to be showered with the footage of Loeb and the many Ford's. It's good having some variety.
No doubt everyone should agree that the more manufacturer's there are in WRC the better...always sad to see one go from the top level..."It's the most fun you can have with your pants on" - Possum Bourne

I have the feeling Suzuki's new S2000 won't be a success, especially regarding the level of its future contenders(207, Grande Punto, Polo, Corolla/Auris, Fabia,...)

I remember reading sometime ago that the SX4 WRC can easily convert to an S2000 car and that the team is planing to use it for the first time in New Zealand. However after reading the autosport article I get the impression that there is no commitment from Suzuki even for a new S2000 car.
hope i´m wrong

I can understand if they decide to drop the current car, and concentrate on the future S2000T if the mother company has a long term commitment. It costs too much to put money into a a car that will die soon anyway.
Be first to come with a S2000T car, and gain experience in 08/09 - before anyone else - that would give Suzuki an advantage !
Great that Kopecky finally has some competition in the Czech Championship, Barum should be mega!
