Sadly still no AWD but a lot of power.

 

[SID297]

I have high hopes for the RS. If they can get the handling characteristics of the FiST with even more power they should have a winner.

 

[steeltoe]

Me too and if the revoknuckle is as good as the Euros say it is, I won't miss the AWD.

Awd would be sweet as all hell, especially here in the northeast! Hopefully they don't price these sky-high like is being talked about.

It will be in the mid 30s.

No AWD=missed opportunity.

 

[DaFreak]

Looking at getting one of these. Any updates on the release?

yep. probably for starters with different packages, like the ST. and then many dealers will probably slap $5k on top of it due to demand. id be very interested in getting one but who knows when they'll arrive and i dont want to pay that much for a focus. ill wait a couple of years and grab a used one.

This isn't the thread where I doubted the RS would come AWD and show up to the US. http://www.roadandtrack.com/go/future-cars/2016-ford-focus-rs-first-details-exclusive-insider-info

I'm willing to eat crow.

Just read this. This car is going to be a beast!

 

[snakecharmer]

Hmmm. I love the idea, but I will reserve judgment until it can prove it can actually throw that much power through just the front tires. Seems a mighty tall order.

Newest news is that it will be limited numbers and awd for the states.

 

[DaBigBone]

AWD will be a huge success IMO

 

[97desertCobra]

Holy shit. If this new rumor is true and it does come to the US with AWD I will be getting one.

 

[94Gt5.0]

Can't wait to see the adj market value on these... I'd love to nab one!

 

[steeltoe]

I'll believe the AWD when it's confirmed by Ford. It seems like every week it changes from FWD to AWD and back.

 

[svtfocus2cobra]

I'm gonna get my hopes up and go with the recent rumors of AWD. It makes me happier when I can dream about it that way lol.

 

[SOVACobra03]

If its awd I'm in for the win! Like Steve I'll be waiting for a nice used one though lol

I hope your news is correct, as I'd be very interested in an AWD version.
