What are your thoughts on the new Ford Focus RS? How do you fell about it coming to the states? Just general discussion ya know
>>15014409
>Turbo
Unreliable piece of shit? Ford's semen quench for turbo cars is just a bad idea
>>15014409
>They spat on the RS heritage and made it a family-oriented 4 door
>>15014419
Oh look its a clueless bus riding retard
50k for a fucking focus here.
>>15014637
fucking hell it's ugly from the side
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
>>15014409
this thing wants to be a WRX so badly
>>15015679

more like it wants to be every rally iteration so badly
>>15014409
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

focus st
thats just in this century
even top gear likes their cars
>>15015789
>he thinks initial drive with a brand new car means anything.
You're not too bright are you?
>>15015804
it means something if you've tested literally every other noteworthy car that month/year/decade
honestly there are few people i give more credence to than Clarkson/May just from their sheer experience
they've driven EVERYTHING
>>15015789
you forgot rs cosworth m8
>>15015821
>he thinks the opinions of 3 homos means anything
Nigga they get paid to say good things.
Ford is a terrible company.
Pull your head outta your ass
>>15015825
>sneeze
Castor changes.
>>15014637
>thats the exact same price in america with adjusted inflation
>>15015850
I mean exchange rates
>>15015836
>3
you can't even read
bbc was a publicly funded company
both of them ragged on some of the most notorious brands in the business
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.
>>15015872
>ford is possibly one of the most well rounded companies out right now
Delusional
ur all gay
>>15015938
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.
>>15015949
>build all sorts of stuff
>quality is far below sub-par
B-but we covered the market.... Right???
They build shit. Doesn't matter what it is. It's shit.
>>15015949
You sound like you would be very cringe irl
If you pay 47k like the dealer are goin to be asking you are a fucking idiot.
>>15015757
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.
>>15015946
wtf man?
>inb4 some retard mentions "fake awd"
>>15014637
I can get a new XR6 turbo for that fucking price.
>>15015279
>This car is just a regular focus with different wheels and paint.
yeah lets just ignore the 350hp engine, awd, better suspension, brakes etc
>>15014409
>What are your thoughts on the new Ford Focus RS
shit like all fords
>ford
>fwd
>performance
>>15015949
mercedes-benz
>>15017770
Not for long
>>15015658
100hp, AWD, can be changed to RWD
>>15015193
the focus generation was out before the a45 design. nice try tho
>>15015679
>the subaru is trying to look like a rally car
>so is the ford
>that moment when you realise ford won more wrc than Subaru
>>15018114
lol, people who actually think Subaru is the blue oval of Word Rally.
>>15017808
The RS is AWD tho??
>>15014409
> What are your thoughts on the new Ford Focus RS?
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.
>>15018046
Fuck man, don't remind me.
>>15015949
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.
>>15020650
>Ford Focus RS
>1.23.96
>Mercedes-AMG A45 4Matic
>1.23.86
Poor man's A45 confirmed.
>not getting a fraction of a second more out of your bone stock shitbox
It's the current year and people are still cucked this hard.
>>15015193
>A45 AMG
>$74,500
all that for a hot hatch. So much more ones money could properly be invested in besides that shit of an AMG....
>>15014637
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.
>>15020699
>I found these times on this retarded ass time comparison site
When does this meme finally die out?
>>15017808
>tripfag
>doesn't even got da facts
baka 2 be quite honest my famila
>>15025620
MSRP of $35. But stealerships are adding 15 on it because its "GONNA BE HUGE"
I am just going to wait.
>>15025620
Employees only.
>>15025690
I've been shopping around one for. Lowest i've found is a dealer willing to do $45k before taxes.
Literally laughed my ass off.
>>15025676
>awd
>fwd + rwd
>still fwd
>""""""performance""""""
>>15025641
It's just the tested times they got on that specific track with those cars on a wet day.
