What we really need is another manufacturer to step up after losing two, potentially three manufacturers. I'm sure the FIA is doing everything they can to try and keep Skoda in the WRC. Hyundai should be making a limited return next year, so there is also a possibility they will grab a few mid-to-top level drivers for testing and development next year.

Skoda should just switch back to the Audi name for WRC... that would get the ball rolling. It might even get some big-name german manufacturers like Porsche, BMW, and Benz into the fray.
The problem I think is that WRC is a showcase for the "lower" car manufacturers, which keeps the premium brands out of it. If the FIA can get names like Audi, BMW, Toyota, Honda, Ford (i.e. the same fellas running in F1) on board w/ WRC, I think it would do wonders for the sport.
