Second coming of God. It looks Ford really tried to make this something special and I want all of it inside me.
>>
>>15014409
Looks like a poor man's A45 AMG.

>>15014419
The turbo Falcon worked out pretty well.
>>
As of now. I don't really see it as anything special. The focus RS of past wasn't a car that looked just like it's base model. If your not a car guy or really paying close attention. This car is just a regular focus with different wheels and paint. For the price they are asking and now with the added mark up. It's a really sketchy car to buy. Nothing says this car will keep its value, if it loses its value like an ST this would literally be the worst thing u could buy. With dealers trying to sell them at 45k. You have to realize how many other proven cars used or new that are in that price range. If this thing can't make well over 400+ to the wheels. It's just a novelty
>>
Overpriced in Canada compared to the competition.
>>
>>15014409

I don't feel like googling. What's the differences between ST and RS?
>>
>>15014409
A Volvo with a Mazda engine?
If it didn't have a blue oval and was built by competant workers i'd buy one for $25k
No fucking $50k

Wait about two or three years for ford to get all the bugs out. this a brand new model that ford has not attempted for 10 years in the US.
Definitely don't buy it right away anon.
I plan to buy a ford focus RS in 4 years; that should give it enough time for aftermarket parts to drop in price/have the car get minor improvements.
>>
>>15015315
I was so stoked until I saw the damn price.

WHY FORD?
>>
>>15015719
This is what Ford does.
Almost every "performance" car they have has a retardedly high markup by the asshole dealers.
>>
>>15015729

because ford cars are usually pretty good/noteworthy. they're one of the few companies that always has good performance vehicles

except for the 5.4l raptor, that one was a bit asthmatic, but once they put a bigger motor in it then things really got good

bbc was a publicly funded company

remember the zenvo review, when that shit caught fire and they showed it burning? you think they'd get paid for that?

anon, you're a nearsighted moron

and ford is possibly one of the most well rounded companies out right now
>>
>>15014409
If you could talk one down for under $35k it would be worth it. Since I haven't heard of a dealer selling one yet without a $5k+ markup it's not worth it.
I think it will have problems for the first couple of years, best not to be an early adopter. And I can't see how tuners are going to squeeze much more power out of it.

well they have the pick-up truck and suv market pretty much sorted

then they have the hatchback market figured out

sedans? check

sports cars? double check

supercar? yep got one of those two

they even have the transit, one of the best-selling and most versatile contractor vehicles ever built

so please, show me a company (single company, not a parent company) that has successfully fulfilled more niches

wait, you can't, because you know nothing about automobiles
>>
to be able to reasonably afford this car, you're probably going to want to be making north of $80k a year. what kind of job would you have where you make that kind of money and want to bring a ford focus to work?

i want to like the car, but $40k for a ford focus doesn't rub me the right way.

Meanwhile the Golf R starts at $35,650 USD (=$46,187 CDN) in the US, but is actually only sold for $39,990 CDN in Canada.

Ford decided to basically not do any regional pricing even though Subaru and VW do it. Which is weird considering Ford is basically a "domestic" car company in Canada.

I want one. Not sure about the durability of all those clutches.

> How do you fell about it coming to the states?
They don't deserve it. They just want MUH VEEATE and MUH MUSSLE CAR.
>>
>>15019206
wet clutches can last an awfully long time slipping constantly

>>15014409
I would buy it if it was $3k-$5k cheaper. For the price (in Canada at least) I can buy a decently optioned out 2015 Mustang GT.
>>
>>15014409
Hope it translates into improvements on the STI.
With the evo being a fetid corpse Subaru just didn't have much of a reason to compete with anyone.

ey man, I'm a honda person myself but you're totally right. Ignore the fag naysayers that don't know how to have a conversation. Ford certainly has one of the most versatile lines currently, but definitely not in history.

Side note, I loved the focus st, it was really fun to toss around a track.

all that for a hot hatch. So much more ones money could properly be invested in besides that shit of an AMG....

Y'know the RS500 sold out at 55k and thats FWD. You mad the focus is worth more than you can afford?
>>
Anybody found one for MSRP yet?

Dealers around here are still jewing the price up stupid high, just like the GT350s. Fuck Ford. I'm not going to spend $50K for a hot rodded Focus.

I've been shopping around one for. Lowest i've found is a dealer willing to do $45k before taxes.
