Which team do you think will have the best chance at the manufactures title next year?

Manufacturers next year will be tight between Ford and Subaru but I think Ford might edge it, it's certainly their best shot for a while if they don't do it next year they may have to wait a long time to get it. The new Focus looked good on its debut and with Gronholm on board they've got a recognised top level driver again.

Skoda even may be in with a shout if they decide to enter next year with Colin McRae, his performance in Australia proved that he and the car are capable of it.

Don't forget Citroen, next year privat teams can go for the manufacturers titel too. So Kronos with Loeb and Pons (maybe Duval too if they find the money) can also go for the titel.

Next years cars won't have so many electronic gizmos on them so the Citroens may suffer as a result of that - they won't have works backing so development of the cars will be limited in comparison with the other teams. Ford look to have got off to a good start with the 2006 Focus which proved quick in Australia, can a wound back Citroen match it? It'll be interesting to watch that's for sure.

but we all know that kronos will get alot more backing from Citroen. I even reckon some of the engineers from Citroen will go to Kronos. I still think that Loeb will be quick but it will be difficult for him to repeat what he achieved this year.
