I hear the RS is coming to the USA for sure

[Fastlane Cobra]

As is the Mustang going to be sold in Europe. I know it's not new news but look at this ultra rare version I saw at Nurburgring a couple of years ago: RS500

345-HP Ford Focus RS500 Unveiled (The Torque Report)

That was the car Ford should have given us, The new ST is a great car but I'm absolutely crushed by the lack of a three door.

If this comes to the US, my ST will be getting traded for sure! Just hope they keep the 5cyl in it..

 

[Steve@Tasca]

The five cylinder is done, went out the door with the last of that generation car.

 

[svtfocus2cobra]

Yep, 2.3l with 350+hp is pretty much confirmed for the new one.

Ahhhhh damn..those motors sounded amazing!

Yep, 2.3l with 350+hp is pretty much confirmed for the new one.

Not a bad replacement though!

 

[John@Lethal]

Level of want is very high. Love me some RS!

 

[03 DSG Snake]

Love my ST to death, but it will get traded in for the RS.

 

[SVT Rob]

I like the RS, and I do hope it comes to the states, but if I trade in my ST, it will be for a 2015+ Mustang GT with a Direct Injection Coyote motor. 3100lbs and 470hp sound like a VERY fun car indeed.

Link for proof. I'd like to read about this

The three-door isn't available here because the body shop in the factory is limited to producing 2 body styles at a time. Importing the 3-door from Europe isn't an option due to the cost.

Ford actually stopped producing the three door Focus globally, it's no longer available in any market.

The Fiesta on the other hand IS sold elsewhere in a three door and I will not forgive Ford for holding that one back.

I have no link but I know it's real.

 

[BADBOSS]

When???

 

[BADBOSS]

Meh, needs to be AWD!

 

[2004Droptop]

This sux... now I have to start planning how I can get one in the driveway without upsetting the wife too much!

 

[Fenixfire]

If its not AWD then forget it.

 

[SVT Rob]

they'd have to re-engineer the chassis to make it AWD. Seriously doubt you'll get that stateside. But we'll see.

 

[focussvtracer]

revknuckle for under 30 and ill retire the SVTF

Lol the market would get flooded.. I wonder how that would affect resale value?

Perfect timing the terminator will be paid off in 4 months... I'm ready for a new dd..Rs is such a bad ass machine...:beer:
