I wouldn't count on the aussie Ford Fiesta. The whole Pirtek team is up for sale at the moment. So I don't think there will be any further development of that package.

Production model upgrade
Both the street versions of the Citroen C3, Ford Fiesta and VW Polo will have a major change/upgrade in 09.
So all of them are waiting for those so they can make a rally car.
Thats one of the reasons why Citroen and Ford are not doing much that we can see for the moment. But for all we know they have their cars all worked out on their 3D computers...

You've convinced me. Seeing those three stage times, they are better then Skoda, Seat and Hyundai all together.
Seriously, it's hard to compare since the SX4 only did a handfull of events, but you can't deny similarities with the teams mentioned above. However, those teams jumped into (WRC) rallying at a relative good time, whilst Suzuki isn't. Plus the competition now is much different from back then.
Anyway, best for them to take a sabatical next year and develop the S2000 version for 2010.

How does a rally car, powered by a petrol engine, promote the 100% EV Ypsilon HF ? Is it just a case of any publicity is good publicity for the brand / car and their rally heritage is just something...
