Block made a very smart move by going to ford. Subaru is no longer participating in the WRC but ford is. Subaru could no longer offer the higher skill level that the wrc and ford can offer.

I just hate the little blue oval, I am pathetically biased. I will admit that.

i personaly would rather race a subaru then a ford but im also not one of the best rally racers in the world so i understand him wanting to go to ford for the wrc. But IMO subaru>ford

yeah...it's not a focus, baldy.

Anyone who is still acting cunt hurt and trying to say Subaru is better than Ford, from a racing pedigree standpoint, is a fucking moron. Put down the video game controller, and try looking at the facts.
