Ford Focus RS

Can't remember if I posted this before. Search turned up nothing. I thought I already had, but I've been seeing it everywhere so I thought I'd doublecheck.

Full press release here:

if I were 16 or Korean or both I would rock it.

 

Id rock it in blue

 

If I were in the market for a compact, I'd consider it.

It's not coming here though, right?

 

Holy fack I want!!

 

North America gets the watered down, americanized versions of the Euro-spec'd cars all the time. The Mondeo was a nice car over in the UK, then we got the shitty craptacular Ford Contour/Mercury Mystake. Crappiest cars ever sold. They replaced the Tempo/Topaz, and as far as I'm concerned, they should have kept making the Tempo, instead of the shitbox replacements.

 

the dashboard looks almost identical to the focus SEL my parents just bought

there are some differences but its quite similar in other aspects.

 

I was kinda fond of the SVT contour back in the day

Actually saw one at my gym the other day...brought back memories.

 

Those are hot cars, but, I thought they ditched the Quaife ATB for an electronic traction-control based LSD?

 

Very nice

 

saw it tested on 5th Gear...very nice

Too much money for what it is though

 

A guy I work with has one... it was a hand me down from his father-in-law

 

The Mondeo and Contour were essentially the same car though...

 

I'd love one of these in that Orange color
