Subaru's only factory competition is going to be Ford.
There will be some very powerful private teams backing Loeb and Grondholm and probably a few others as well, so it shouldn't be a total snoozefest.

The next WRC driver champion will probably be a privateer anyway. 
I don't know, I think Subaru will have a pretty good shot at the manufacturer championship since Petter will have more experience behind the wheel of his car. I think, once again, that Loeb is the biggest hurdle for Petter (and every other driver in WRC). He's sooo consistent.
