They TOTALLY fell out of favor with those same competitors once the Nippon 'rally twins', the Lancer Evo 8 and 9, and Imprezza WRX/STI became available here (and once the older 2.2L 20V 5 cylinder turbo Audi 'Ur' Quattros became scarce in both parts and actual cars, and their newer Quattros became way too massive, and over the multiplication factor displacement limits for even the open class AWD rules).
