Ok, lost track... the last time i knew was that the championship was won with a Peugeot 206.
What cars won the championship the subsequent years? -
haha ya like kinda hard to get in touch with it. if only it's on espn star sports rather than axn.
guess citroen has been strong nowadays... -
because i was wondering... its been a while since mitsubishi has won anything with the evo... or subaru with its wrx...
why don't people buy championship winning models? yet they still look at evo 8, or the upcoming 9... or still the subaru wrx?
anyway back to the first post... what are the cars that won the subsequent championships?
Citroen? What model??? -

Whoa, Citroen storming the charts, followed by Ford...
Don't see an increase in Citroen or Fords on the roads...
Peugeot is using the 307 now... hmmmmmmmmmmm...
Kinda liked the 206~ the Ford Focus is nice too... seems like the hatchbacks are back -
Ok mitsubishi has been bottom of the heap for 2002... and this year...
Subaru, hmmmm seems to be a mid table contender.
Citroen, Ford & Peugueot... interesting, gotta look at their cars

for mitsubishi what i know Vaguely is that they left e scene for awhile due to whatever reason hopefully someone can clear my doubts, then they haven really settled down to challenge after their return. their car has not been optimally accustomised yet and their top drivers are gone...
but we all know the potential of 3 diamonds, the heritage of evo, so we still love it

as far as i know mitsubishi has been trying very hard to improve their cars' reliability.. which lets their drivers down due to numerous failures.. the most recent re-entry is much more basic.. without the more high-tech features.. the brakes are no longer water-cooled.. the differentials are all passive.. even the gear box's no longer a semiauto..
as for citroen(is this the rite spelling?) their winning car is the xsara.. which is due for replacement soon by the C4.. -
