As much as I love Subaru, they dropped the ball by not resigning him.  
They’ve still got a few good drivers though.

Car is pretty neat. Those are some aggressive lines for the fenders and quarters.

Ken block is marketable… and thats it. He has crashed two of the past 3 tall pines rallies, and didn’t even bother to show up last year. Boourns.

Block is a creative genius. He’s the king of the mountain with more accomplishments than most people could ever dream of achieving. His creative talents hasve made him a household name, and landed him in a position to chase another accolade. Block’s importance extends so much further than the driver seat. He’s an important force out there.

looks good, but not as good as his subie.  
block is quite overrated, but doesnt mean hes not good.  
very creative person.  
dont understand why subaru didnt support him on going to WRC.

Subaru didn’t support him going to WRC because Subaru is not in WRC anymore.

Kenny is marketable, and has some skill behind the wheel, but he’s definitely gonna get chewed up and spit out in the WRC. He’s not even RA or CARS championship level, how does he expect to even finish in the world stage?

Ken block isn’t a WRC level driver. He is good, but not that good.

And Subaru is no longer in the manufacturers WRC title. I think they are racing in juniors and production class though.

Doesn’t matter. At worse, he pushes Ford’s and Monster, DC, and other sponsors explode even more. It’s common knowledge Block has his hands deep in the X-Games and has for many years through DC, and now through rally. He has the hand that feeds many, the hand that has in part created new stages, new avenues. WRC=ton of publicity at worse. At best, he will become the underdog that defeated the odds. It’s win/win man. I think few are in that kind of position.
