The interior on the Subaru is much more my style. Don't really like the two-tone on the Toyota. The main difference to me is the interior. The interior on the Subaru is much more my style.

I still think that if he did decide to come over to the U.S. it would be in a car provided to him, not his own. That is very true, he would dominate in a C4.

He doesn't need a ride w/ Subaru to dominate in the US. He could just bring his C4 over here, run open class and whoop everyones but. He doesn’t need a ride w/ Subaru to dominate in the US.

Hopefully Petter will end up somewhere, not sure he has the funds for ANOTHER privately funded car, as his current ride won't be eligible next year.

Money aside, I'm not sure why they've not fired Raikkonen as the only thing he does consistently is drive cars off the road. He's got to remember that this is a rally not a F1 race where there's plenty of runoff Well, I’ll agree with you but only if Raikkonen doesn’t return.

So, will be very interesting to see how all that plays out. Seems to be too many drivers and not enough teams...

From what I understand, it is unlikely Dani Sordo is going anywhere as Citroen are keen to hang on to him as a lead Junior Team driver. I know Ford is indeed interested in signing him but it looks like he's using Ford has a leveraging tool. Pastrana going to WRC is possible as long as he can secure the funding for it but in a customer car not a works car and the way I see it more likely as a Ford customer car. Kimi wants to go back to F1 but only if he can secure both the right salary and a competitive car, which is looking less and less likely, so Citroen for him again. Ford should have a better car in 2011 with Latvala and Hirvonen but I'm sure they'll have the big gaggle of customer cars like they always have. The Mini program has Kris Meeke and I expect to see an out of the picture veteran take the second seat or a former JWRC champion. 2012 would offer a clearer as I expect two more new manufacturers to enter the picture. Right now there just aren't enough seats in the WRC class to go around. To close this note, Loeb is expected to retire in 2011 but if he wins his 9th title in 2011, I expect him to try to win #10 in 2012. Also, if the FIA isn't careful and the IRC can get their global TV rights sorted out, they could become bigger than the WRC with some time given. Nice one David.
