will Honda and Dodge joining World Rally Championship in the future??

Post

World Rally Championship needs more new manufacturers such as Honda and Dodge. Dodge wants WRC expansion to challenge Ford and Honda wants WRC expansion to make the sport manufacturer's become crowded. If Honda joins WRC, Honda probably to use Honda Civic car and Dodge joins WRC to use Dodge Charger sedan car. Your thoughts?

The Charger is a pretty big car for WRC and it does not seem like the kind of image Dodge is looking to build. I would really like to see Subaru get back in, their previous involvement is one of the reasons I drive one.

Dodge? I guess if FCA would invest in a more or less European based sport, it would be with Lancia or Fiat, not one of their American brands.

I struggle to see a scenario where Honda joins the WRC.

It is not their image. It is for hooligans and Honda probably would not like to be associated with 'that sort' :mrgreen:
When arguing with a fool, be sure the other person is not doing the same thing.

The Chrysler Neon would be an excellent fit however i think this model is no longer produced.

The SRT4 Neon had a Mitsubishi 4g64 turbo... Not a huge jump to AWD from there!

The Fiat 124 Abarth compete is some WRC events in the hands of privateer teams. I believe it debuted in 2018.
