Hahahahahahahahahaha, this is only bad for the brand loyal dumbasses.
I remember threads for the Focus RS and posters saying they've been waiting for a sporty hatch to hit the market, like sporty hatches hadn't been on the market before Ford decided to join the club .
I have always wanted a Focus RS-
Ever since I saw a MK-I Focus RS with a Michigan Manufacturer Plate at various car shows & on the open roads back in the early 2000s.
PLUS, when I'm down in Mexico, I would see the second-generation MK-II Focus RS in green, white & black cruising around.... made me want one even more
[Early 2000s] I did go to Mitsubishi & Subaru dealerships to look at both the WRX-STi & Lancer EVO when they first showed up on our shores but everyone wanted top-dollar and the sales reps never took the time or was motivated to make a sale. So I said to hell with them.....
That's when I stumbled on a great deal on my '04 SY EAP SVTF which I gave in and bought it in hopes of still getting into a Focus RS in the near future.
About five or six years ago, I was working a deal to somehow get one of the MX-market MK-II Focus RS and bring it here stateside but never materialized.....

Fast-forward 13 years later....
I still have my same SVTF but I finally got to add a Focus RS to my stable..... guess it only took me 15 years to get my RS.........
