No offense to anyone, but its amazing how misinformation flies.

That is only a bumper treatment. The 04 will be a complete redesign and WRC might not see it the first season.
evil derf :
The Puma was discontinued last year. They still use them in some of the lower ranks of WRC but not with the bigger cars. I think the car has to be current to be in WRC.
Whats puzzling to me about this new car is that they made the bumpers bigger and further from the car just like the US foci. But why? Peugot does it to follow the rules of length of the car. But the WRC focus had no problem passing those rules with the stock Euro bumpers on it. Very strange.... especially the rear SVT bumper.
