Doubtful...would require a new car when the Polo comes out - you'd assume that would have to be the base car as the Scirocco is already too big. There's next to no coverage and very little exposure - that's why they went to do Dakar to promote their 4x4 vehicles.

True, BUT the amount you would have to pump in to bankroll a title in the WRC is a lot less than to finish last in F1. WRC is a sport which is much loved the world round, it may be down in the doldrums now but add a few manufactuers, change the sporting regs and throw in some proper events and you've got a series which is going places.
