No Acura representation in W2C.

How come there are no Honda or Acura sponsered rally entries. It is all WRX and FOCUS and PUGO and RENO, and CITRON and Mitsubishi and Audi.







I want to see a rallified RDX or RSX, It could kick ass on those FORDs and Mitsis

neons arent in the world rally .. for exactly that reason. same with honda/acura.


no awd = no world rally entrance

local and nation rallys will have FWD cars such as rsx, neon, talon (no-awd), civic, etc.

found out the focus in wrc is the ford focus rs...and i'm sure it won't have any concerns about that rsx even at 1/4 throttle =)



anyways, back on topic...there was a recent pikes peak hill climb and a member at honda-tech was able to get some shots...some fwd cars being represented
