I'm not excited...........and I just can't hide it. Does'nt do anything for me. If I saw a hot chick driving one, that would change my mind.

Re: its a great time to be a ford guy/ gal!! the RS is confirmed
The 3 door hatch(and last gen in general) just look so much meaner. Screw functionality. That there currently isn't a 3 door, not even abroad, is just stupid. Ford's announcement sounds pretty decent, except one thing. Rebranding all their performance arms. Dafuq is with these companies thinking renaming things that helped build them up is a good idea?!? SVT- Uh, Cobra. Nuff said. Need more? Lightning. RS- Decades of European performance cars Infiniti G coupe/sedan(what put Infiniti on the map)- F**k it, call ALL THE THINGS Q!!! Mercedes- All our letters stand for actual German words. Let's just change them to mean small or big car platform. I just don't get it. It's little trivial stuff, but it just shows that a lot of stupid people, who make a lot money, like to do things for no reason. |

Re: its a great time to be a ford guy/ gal!! the RS is confirmed
I had a focus in highschool. I actually did a little searching recently to see if I could find a clean svt focus, but had no luck.
I'll always have a little soft spot for the focus too. I was stoked to hear the news that the RS will be coming to the US. Exciting times! The RS is better than any other 4 cylinder performance car in its class, see ya STi!

Being that it's a 4-door hatchback, I actually might try to unload the Mach and get one of these. I know, I'm saying crazy things, but such is life. I would definitely private sale the Mach so it went to an enthusiastic buyer.

Re: its a great time to be a ford guy/ gal!! the RS is confirmed
The Mach 1 is always a show stopper.
But I have no doubts when this comes out(assuming it's AWD) it'll accellerate, brake, and handle better, while having 4 doors and more room, while getting better MPG then a Mach 1. It'll also be subject to absolutely mind-boggling dealer mark ups, killing sales. |

If the Focus ST was going for $30K, then the RS will easily be at least a $35K sticker. They're not gonna give away 350hp cheap.

Re: its a great time to be a ford guy/ gal!! the RS is confirmed
I to started in a Focus. A SVT as well that is still alive a kicking in my dads garage. I would love an RS. They are beasts but with 325 to 350 Hp they have got to make it a stinking AWD!! it would just be undrivable otherwise. Though I would love to have one either way because they are mean and very very fast. and they take corners very well!
Can't wait to start seeing them on the streets. |

Re: its a great time to be a ford guy/ gal!! the RS is confirmed
The only reason I see a Focus ST all the time is because a co-worker of mine drives one. Otherwise, I'm lucky if I see one once a year. I saw an old SVT Focus today. I haven't seen one of those since I stopped going to car shows 7 years ago.

The RS focus has been awd for a while. I'd probably pick it over any new car in its price range.

I loved my SVT Focus.
But no way in hell am I spending 35k on a Focus. I can't bring myself to spend that on anything.
