The RS comes JUST like that? Paintjob and all? If so, I would seriously consider buying it.

 

[finnns2003]

Torque steer. No thanks.

 

[TheGodFresco]

Damn thats nice, and im not usually a fan of hatchbacks

 

[mc otaku]

Nice looking but the sti is cleaner.

 

[aizensousuke]

i think so

 

[champ305]

5 cylinder? turbo? how many pounds to get it at 340+ hp?

 

[marath0n]

Coming from a Lexus head, that's one sexy Ford.

 

[maza4ever14]

Not a fan of the new STi hatch so I'd take that Focus easy.

My boy that works at a Ford dealer said that the RS will hit the US with the EcoBoost 4 banger with 300hp. Is that true?

 

[651akathepaul]

What state is that picture? City? I'm curious.

 

[freakazoid]

STi all the way!!!

 

[livemyreality]

I never understood why the Ford Focus Rally Car always looked 10x better than any Ford Focus in the US. Why didn't Ford bring that model here in the U.S.? I believe that would sell.

I want to know why America doesn't have the Ford RS. besides being too small

Only thing I dont know is the reliability of the RS over there in Europe. Don't get it twisted though, that is one nice looking car..I still dont get whats taking them so long to bring it over. I'm a big fan of the Mazda 3 as well. I wouldn't mind owning one.

BINGO

4wd > FF
STi aftermarket > Focus aftermarket
  
2ndly the reliablitiy is in question

3. its a ford

4. probably isnt gonna be tuner friendly because of low aftermarket support.
