I don't get it. When the frs/brz was released half of /o/ bought those slow shits, but when an actual fast track car debut's nobody on /o/ buys one? The fuck? Did you all throw your money away years ago falling for the frs troll?

I will never understand how car sales work in the US. Why cant you just go to the dealer and order one at MSRP?
>>15094974
You've made a common mistake...the car is affordable, yet at that price, it makes no sense to buy it.
It is far better to buy a Subby sti or Mitsu evo and save the extra 10k for upgrades/repair than buy this overpriced mom mobile desu anon...
You're still young yet...you'll learn...
Have a great day!
>>15095016
You can just go on ford.com and custom make one from a professional automobile artist and have in quickly an carefully shipped to your front door.
>>15095030
you can but then you gotta wait for it to built
pay extra and you get it that day
>>15095045
That makes sense thanks
>>15095038
It retails the same price as a STI. And out performs both STI and EVO on the track.

If I played video games I would have known about the Focus RS
>>15095114
why's that then?
>>15095125
because car video games have cars in them?
>>15095074
Nope. Same price , plus the WRX is just outdated trash. You are paying so much money for a 15 year old platform. The RS is all brand new and is the best performance car around for the money.
>>15095151
why would you assume with such certainty that particular car would be in there?
>>15095044
you literally can't do that
>>15095169
because I just googled it and it is.
>>15095161
except you can't get it at that price right now...
every dealership I've called is only getting completely loaded out ones with another 5-10k tacked ontop of that
Makes it pretty much 50k USD
>>15095161
Christ, I could get a Mustang GT with the premium pack for that much money. Doesn't seem worth it unless you specifically want a knock off WRX.
>>15095180
This, it will be a year or more before you can get one at anything close to MSRP or below
>>15095161

>>15095175
you googled it after you assumed with total certainty a car you've never heard of is in a computer game you've never heard of and that is why you assumed it in the first instance?
not a very convincing story is it?
>>15095188
American muscle really can't compete against euro and japanese performance cars.
>>15095209
no, I googled it right after you asked me why and it turns out the Focus RS has been in dozens of video games
http://www.igcd.net/vehicles.php?make=Ford&model=Focus+RS
Although it looks like only the newest one is all wheel drive which I learned by googling the 2009 RS and learning it was FWD which I had to do because I didn't already know this from playing video games. Any more questions?

Comparing a stripped out track car on none TUV approved tyres to a road legal car. Nice try but no cigar.
>>15094974
I've seen a few of them on the road, can't wrap my head around why someone would pay $40,000 for one. There have been very few at the autocross events I've been attending, lots of Fiesta STs though.
3dr FiST USA when?
>>15094974
I've never been any kind of fan of hot hatches, but the RS really is gorgeous (helps that the Focus is so nice to begin with), and the performance and tech for the money is just nuts. Nothing about the RS, not even the spoiler, strikes me as tacky or ricey. Just perfectly executed.
>>15098988
They don't offer it as a 3dr in any trim. Probably never will, since there's no reason to buy one over the 5dr.
>>15094974
Those wheels look shit and way too big
>>15099045
I like how they look but agree that they're too large.

Golf R is a better car but we're not talking about that either

IMO 3-doors usually look odd, with the large bit of 'blank' space behind the doors.
Which would you rather buy, a Focus or a Mustang GT, possibly with a performance package?
At this point dealers are starting to get antsy about their 2015 inventory, they'll be more flexible on price. You could very well get a 2015 Mustang GT loaded with options for less than that Focus.
And it'll handle better.
>>15094974
>When the frs/brz was released half of /o/ bought those
People would rather drive a proper sports car even if it is slower than warmed over hatch.
>>15099065
Sure but it's a particularly shitty interior and a hard sell over comparably priced but much nicer cars like a golf R or even a mustang
>>15099169

V8 Mustang and Focus RS seem pretty even for price. I'd really like to see a head-to-head comparison now.
I'd assume the RS would be the better performer, but there's more room to upgrade with the Mustang down the line.
>>15099176
This. There is a 10-15k difference for interior feel between the R and the RS. Hard pill to swallow.
>>15099247
Really?
Are the base Golf and Focus priced that differently?
p.s. the Golf R looks so boring next to the RS.

Probably in 2-3 years. 4 door production of Fiesta's is moving to Thailand so it seems like they are gearing up to start importing cars from Cologne (where the RS and Euro-Fiestas are currently made) and Thailand (for the 4 door Fiesta).
The whole platform is due for a refresh soon though, so they may not be around much longer not sure.
