They are represented already by LP430s in GTRs but its not really a race that common people pay for viewing. Petrol heads maybe but not common peeps. Now with possible Porsche involvement, we fear the LP could be withdrawn. But then again VW has managed to scale without splurging on these expensive marketing costs. Will Porsche change all that? And will we see Audi back on the WRC trail? What better than to see Quattro in action. Maybe they get better coverage if VW went for more races which have more international exposure such as WRC.

S15/Impreza Version 10/ S2000 thingie!! Just kidding, that's one handsome widebody kit for the Scirocco. If any of you guys notice, the left and right fender bulges coupled with the edge of the headlight design is reminiscent of the S2000. Looks sharp and focused. Go!!

Seriously, that was my first thought, before noticing the badge. Nice car, this. Hmm..take away the badge and add a hood scoop and it becomes what an Impreza should have looked like.
