From my outside perspective the team seem incapable or unwilling of sorting him a car in which to compete. He may have been pivotal in setting things up but he isn't in control and seems to be being left to wither on a vine.

Allegedly still on for later this year, but it seems to be far lower down Subaru UK's to do list than the revised XV crossover. When it does arrive it is a five door hatch of Focus/ Astra proportions on a new platform. Sadly saddled with boxer engines, 4WD and a CVT transmission again, so will not be bothering Ford and VW in the sales charts. Although presumably could be turned into a RWD touring car as per the Leviathan.

A new European manufacturing facility is on their mid term agenda, so who knows...
