"The German newspaper Rallye-Magazine published a picture of the future Opel Corsa WRC, for now it is only a hypothesis and to tell the truth, the Germans do not believe much in the news."
Useless article again. That magazine once published a picture of a possible Mercedes WRC, which was fantasy as well.

To be fair, rallye magazin clearly states in the stories are only speculation/fantasy/hopes

About Capito's ideas for 2015, listen to what the commentator says at 2:00. More simple than that is not possible Maybe in 2015 it will be necessary a 26 minute programme to explain the WRC rules.

Its a political game going on here. VW and Capito is holding their contribution "hostage" to them getting their way regarding regulations, promoting and vision. Toyota is doing kind of the same thing. The question is if these to giants view of the future of the WRC can coincide?
VW wants the same regulations as per today, or only small variations. Hyundai and M-sport agree on this. Toyota has been very open about their which to make a hybrid WRC-car, and that allowing a hybrid can be the make or brake for them. The question is if one can allow Toyota to race a hybrid against the regular WRC-cars from the other teams.
Earlier in rallying You had turbo/non turbo, different engine sizes, two wheel and four wheel drive, and rules that would try to equalize the speed of the cars, just like Le Mans today.
TMG seems very motivated to return to WRC, and even offering up the possibility of creating customer cars at good prices.
Hmmm... Seems that the sport of rallying is catching some wind in its sailshttps://www.facebook.com/noseendfirst?ref=hl#

Toyota won't join if they can't promote their hybrid technology; there's no point in joining if they can't.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

If I remember well, that 2C Hyundai was basically put together from parts that was available, that's why sometimes it was a very interesting hybrid of various i20 evolutions.
