[QUOTE="Ry_Trapp0, post: 11770486, member: 27761"] yes, it's a very high percentage chance that we're getting the focus RS this go around. a couple things to think about; first you gotta realize that the focus is more of a premium car in europe and competes with the 1 series over there. as such, the material quality is higher and thus the cost is higher than we would pay for such a car here. that's why we've never gotten the RS here and didn't get the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Focus_(second_generation,_Europe)"][i]real[/i] 2nd gen focus[/url]. mulally happened to arrive at the perfect time and began the whole "one ford" push and so the current third gen focus was designed as a global car to meet multiple price points for the different markets. i believe that US consumers are now willing to accept a higher priced small car with high quality as well considering ford is selling a lot of focus titaniums(can be optioned up to about $30k). detroit also didn't want another vehicle in the line up that might hurt the yearly sales of the mustang by offering similar performance. with the advent of the 420HP 5.0l, this is no longer an issue. both of those issues taken care of, there is now some logic to support the "rumors"(in quotations for a reason). as far as the coming ecoboost mustang is concerned, i REALLY hope it gets [url="http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1067177_ford-working-on-downsized-v-6"]this engine[/url]. a V6 with 4 cylinder displacement just fits the mustangs image better IMO, seems more "premium", less "cheap".
