[Mike Wojton]

So are there just 4 factory teams this year?  Ford, Skoda, Subaru, and
Mitsubishi?  With only 2 drivers per team, that would mean there's only 8
"big time" cars out there.  It would have been interesting to see Colin and
Nicki drive again this year, but it didn't look like it was going to work
out.

I agree about Loeb.  He's a great driver, but it was getting tired of seeing
him win all the time.  I'm a Gronholm fan at heart anyways.  He's had his
share of troubles with the Citroens though.  It will be interesting to see
how he does in a Focus now.
