I don't think Ken Block is a sellout. Just because he worked for one company doesn't mean he has to be married to it. But I will agree on the pregnant roller skate and yet it doesn't stop me for wanting to drive a fiesta rs.
Subaru is going more mainstream and looking for the more mature buyers. The current Subaru commericals atest to this. Those first WRX commercials were the best.
Ken Block isn't the first rally driver to switch manufacturers...Even Subaru-Hero Colin McRea drove a Ford and a Citroen...what about Petter Solberg and Mads Ostberg...even Lebron James can take his talents to South Beach! Professionals go where they feel they will be most successful.
