2002 A4 introduced

[Frederick Smith]

The Subaru Rally is actually designated a WRX SCi, tweaked by the performance
arm of Subaru.... Like Audi's "S" and BMW's "M". Tommy Makinen won this years
Monte Carlo Rally after Colin Mc Rae's drive by wire throttle broke 
(Ford Focus). There is a one hour long recap on Speedvision this week
along with a 1/2 hour show on the Cherokee Trails Rally (proposed for
an FIA event next year). Most of the WRX's had drivetrain failures, maybe
the new in house transmissions need a bit more work.

I did read that the new EVO is going to be sold in the US, priced around
27K. Rallying is really having a rebirth in the US to the point that
it's hard to get an entry into the SCCA club rally classes. Too many
entries.
