The Frenchman won last weekend’s Rally Portugal, but with arch-rival Marcus Gronholm finishing second, the Citroen star was still two points adrift of the series lead. However, the Finn and his fellow Focus WRC runners were given a five-minute time penalty for infringing the regulations, when an official post-rally technical check discovered that the leading Fords were running illegal rear side windows. The decision dropped Gronholm from second to fourth position and, as a consequence, allowed Loeb to move into the lead of the championship by one point.

Likely to adopt the Azure name after the Pininfarina-styled 1995 model, the opulent four-seater is set to cost around í‚á£135,000 when it goes on sale next summer. It will build on the huge sales success of the GT coup탩 - last year, an incredible 1,841 GTs found new homes, with the Flying Spur expected to push the firm"s total sales over the 6,000 mark.

Larger than the current Corolla, the newcomer is expected to be bolstered by a Verso-badged seven-seater compact MPV, which will also be bigger than the current model. The new hatchback line-up is expected to be launched in the UK towards the end of 2006.

However, Toyota isn"t finished with the current car. As part of the firm"s bid to create a racier image, a limited-edition supercharged variant of the Corolla will hit showrooms next month. The special model will offer 220bhp, and is being described as a run-out version of the current car.
