Rouse was right to get out when he did. Not sure his style would have suited the post-94 cars

Well I know it was necessary to test the Mondeo with rear wings in light of Alfa's performance. I just felt it looked a bit ugly though.

Obviously there was more to just sticking a wing on, as Alfa proved. Really I don't think it's that ugly

since everything BTCC related was probably already mentioned maybe something related

1996 Mitsubishi planned to enter german STW cup , they even build a mockup Carisma super tourer

maybe they would have considered BTCC too ?

Short answer, no.

Long answer, that mockup was made by the local Germany importer, nothing Mitsubishi-official about it. It was only going to happen if Mitsubishi part-funded it. Which didnt happen, there was never any BTCC plan at all. Colt Cars UK were happy in rallying and F3.
