    this car looks good. I saw the previos version before due it was available in MEX, so not too much on his DNA. I think arrived late into the competition, but Focus fans always wanted. looking forward to see them on the track.

    I'm down. You will catch me in one of those long before i step foot in a Subaru, unless Mitsubishi surprises us all.

    I'm good with Euro Fords bred for rally homologation. Some impressive lineage there.

    Awww the good old RS Cosworth!

    I looked at the ST before I bought my Evo. I was only allowed to LOOK and not test drive unless i did all the paper work so.

    Evo IX, 91 eclipse gsx, and other commuters...
    It is going to be the best bang for your buck out there that is new. Ford has come a long way and their turbocharged engine are actually really good for the most part. I have been waiting for the RS since it came out in the UK, I will probably get one but I will definitely keep my evo and my eclipse.

    looks like they made the face of the RS resemble the new Shelby Cobra GT350



    either way, I like it.

    I really like it, if it does in fact a a legit AWD system. and they make the interior look more grown up then the ST.

    I posted this on evom forum, but no one was answering me.

    Here it is:
    Wow, Ford Focus RS actually looks very nice!
    The spec looks good on paper too.
    I usually don't bump for this kind of thread..
    But this car definitely got my attention..

    Stupid question though, isn't Ford from USA?
    Why didn't they simply release the car already?
    It is sad to see this of **** happens.
    I thought it is always easier /cheaper /more accessible to get cars from domestic car makers.

    Not in the US do to the fact that it was always a European car and now Ford is striving to be a global company.
    The old RS very limited and was built the UK i think but I might be wrong. Any ways to import it would of be silly seeing the low number of cars built. When it comes here I'm sure it will be in low quantities which will mean upping the sticker price so it will be $$ I'm guessing.


    My bad they were at the Saarlouis plant in Germany

    HAHA, I kind of like it.
    I like the "BIG MOUTH" style, I am not sure why.. it sorta reminds me EVO X front end.

    Looks much better than ST.

    Looks more aggressive than STi as well..

    im not one for Domestic cars but this car has definitely caught my attention. I really like it.

    The new 4 banger mustang with ecoboost is showing some incredibly impressive results.... Ford has definitely intrigued me with the new Mustang and Focus/Fiesta.

    It's badass but I wouldn't choose it over an Evo. I never really liked hatches for some reason. Not this style hatch at least haha. Once Subaru went with the hatch for their STi's, I no longer had any hope for them.
