Its the one thing thats always prevented me from getting behind Citroen as a manuafacturer; they've never really acknowleged the success of the rally/rallycross cars with those they produce for the showroom. They are producing that lairy DS3 now which I think is the closest they've ever come to producing a performance Citroen based on the chassis in WRC use.
Although the drivetrain on the Focus RS is the subject of many debates, at least Ford have continued their heritage for road cars that reflect the race cars. I've seen a few rumours of a lairy Fiesta (a Fiesta RS perhaps?), so it seems like a trend they intend to continue as well.
