Wait! Don't they all have AWD cars? Ford has Jaguar (and Euro Focus, or Foci, if they wanted), GM has some money into Subaru, & lesse, doesn't Daimler Chrysler have some AWD's, like 4Matics, & AWD Caravans?
Don't you think Rally's impediment to popularity is the fact spectators can't watch a whole event from a seat in an arena? And you need more camera's to televise it than roundy-round racing? Oh, and it's harder for many US fans to follow if they don't see all the competitors crowding the same turn at the same time?
Face it - US sponsors already have ways to quantify the value of money spent on NASCAR, and other current race series, and so don't feel a need to jump into another series they perceive as low profile, yet.
