You're all going to be angry aren't you?

I find the lack of multiple Lancias on this list disturbing. At LEAST the Stratos deserved to be here, and possibly the 037. I think the Mini should also have been on this list. 10 is hard though

You cannot have a rally car all-time great list without the Ford Escort, honourable mention for no Lancia Stratos.

A little bit of trivia about Volkswagen; before the Polo R, VWAG Fielded two entries into the World Rally Car category in the late 90's and early 00's with their subsidiaries; the Spanish Seat, and the Czech Skoda. Ultimately the self-competition between the brands and the two teams' less than ideal platforms meant both struggled, with Seat pulling out their Cordoba around the turn of the Millennium, while Skoda continued with their unwieldy Octavia until '03 when they switched to the Fabia, before they pulled out of the top flight 2 years later.<br><br>Skoda however stuck around in the lower classes, most notably in Super 2000 with the Fabia in its Second Generation guise where it saw major success and even helped springboard the VW Rally Team into action with the experience of fielding a car in the lower class

France and Japan with 3 cars are really a massive part of the story of rally cars i love it because their production counterpart is not too expensive

Certainly, a Stratos as well as a Delta S4 deserve a mention. Yet to pick 10 is never doing everyone justice. For the 131, I remember Walter quoting 240hp not the quoted 140.
