Mitsu is half owned by DC.
Mitsu is bleeding money and isn't making it back up, their rep is taking a big hit lately too.
DC has a new econocar, what better way to showcase it than to use that in place of the Lancer in WRC and get the importfanb0i's excited ?
Mitsu will not be selling cars in a decade, mark my words. That company is going belly ass up.
well one reason this is pure BS is the fact that Dodge is only sold in the US. WRC has no US presence. Why would DC spend millions on a market that doesnt exist? While I recognize the fact that you can by the same cars as chryslers in europe, DC would be crazy to rally a neon or calibre or whatever. The last time DC did a full works WRC team was with the "big benz" cars in the late 70's-early 80s and it was only for rallys like africa. They have no history of WRC to speak of and it looks like they dont really care about it anyway. So tell me, why would they do this program again?
