Ford CEO confirms Ford Focus RS is coming to America

Didn't they review them on top gear? Looked pretty impressive and affordable.

There's probably absolutely nothing in common to the one you drove, and the ST/RS besides having the name Focus.

Oh, how wrong you are. My ST last just over 3 months before I tossed it. It accelerated, braked, turned, etc. awesomly, but at the end of the day, I had a Focus. I loved what it could do, but didn't like the car.

Just out of curiosity, what didn't you like about the car? I still dd my 03' SVT Focus I bought new. Turbo really appeals to me, and have thought about a focus or fiesta ST, but don't want the payments.

It just had that small econobox feel to it. Really, there was nothing wrong with the car. You'll have to get an aftermarket engine mount before anything. It just had that "feel" that you were driving a compact FWD vehicle under heavy acceleration.

We had an 08 Focus se, it was a great lil DD.

Yup, just the name alone is enough to make me hate it.

I just think the target market for the car has moved on. That and if there is intrest from the younger guys itll price itself out of the market.

Ill admit that i am out of touch with the youth sector of he market.

At least let them bring over the Diesel version. That is a nice car. Mine averaged 50 mpg and that was with me flogging it on the motorway.
