Maybe in 2017, will let VW win a few inglorious titles by then.
"Toyota would like to come back to the WRC, but it is difficult to give a concrete timing to this," said Akio Toyoda, who went on to encourage fans to let him know what they want.
"I said the same thing two years ago, but the distance is gradually getting closer.
"I would like to hear messages that fans want Toyota to challenge the WRC again.
"Then, the distance might be even closer. Personally I would like to see a Japanese manufacturer compete in the WRC again."
"My aim is to create better cars. If there are roads like that in the world and those roads 'create' cars, I would love to compete in the WRC if there is such an opportunity."

I was going to comment saying they're probably waiting to see what the next generation of WRC rules say (expected 2016/2017), but it turns out the full article actually says the same thing. Rumor is the next batch of rules may utilize the R5 or something more closely based on it, which will make things very interesting and open the door for more privateers.

Not sure if going down is the right thing to do.

I'd love the top tier WRC cars to be the maddest thing out there as well, but I'd rather have close, exciting competition, and if moving toward R5 spec does that I'm all for it. It's not exactly the most thrilling thing when the leader at the end of day 1 (or even at the end of stage 1) goes on to win the rally without any real challenge.
