2016 Ford Focus RS revealed

The question/statement is if you spend 40k on this car you are a straight up fucking retard. If you spend more than 16k on this car you are the same thing as the 40k person IMO

someone pooped in their cereal.

The interior of the ST is a pretty nice place to be, and the hatchback makes it great as a daily driver. So its fun, extremely tossable, and quick enough to satisfy my daily driving. Its also economical and cheap on insurance.

The RS being AWD will take all of the things that make the ST great, and dial it up to 11. I expect stock they will be low to mid 13 second cars if AWD comes true. 12's on a tune. 11's with tune and bolt-ons.

I was daily this car and love every minute of it. But if it has a $40K price tag, I'd pass. That is just a bit to high for something like this. Although it will be bad ass, not $40K bad ass IMO.

I think people that buy and mod 3V's are retards

I might sit and dwell on it for a few years when they come out before maybe going after one. But I will probably upgrade to it. Moving out of my house comes first though, lol.

Says the guy who will be butthurt from a Focus. It will be superior in every way to your 3v.

Don't you understand?!?!11?! The Focus is a $16K car, no matter what engine, transmission, drivetrain, and options are on it! Hurpty DERP!

 

[Deleted member 9932]

You gays funny. I'm going to stand in line waiting to be theb1st to buy one these race cars. A base focus is better than a 3v

 

[Smokinhot]

Yes, inflation upon demand = profit. I paid $20k for this $16k focus. RS will be over priced, doesn't mean I will pay MSRP. Decent used ones will hit the market lol.

Maybe I should go back and read some of the previous posts. I feel like I missed something?

You mad bro?

Yep, mad jelly bruh.

I don't see that. Mustang buyers will buy the Mustang. Hot Hatch people will buy the ST or RS. I don't see either eating into the market share.

As for price? I expect its going to start low to mid 30s. Ford should price it lower than the STi. Otherwise, new sales will go to the STi, pretty much the only remaining benchmark for AWD Hot Hatches. They should be using the price point to pull Subaru buyers away from Subaru. If they price it equal to the STi, then I don't see many sales.

If its priced higher than the STi, it'll flop.

man if they sell a base one of these around 26-28k this would the kill regular impreza wrx market

i was tempted to pick up a base focus st for 20k at the dealership but it was sold before i got a chance to check it out wouldnt mine gettin one of these to use for awhile before swappin to some v8 thingy

 

[Primalzer]

Oh god, how awesome would a ~$30k AWD ST be

Hmm. They said my 03 Cobra is a $16K car with a $20K drivetrain which is technically true. I still think it was worth it though.

No doubt your Cobra is worth it. Same theory as the Evo, WRX and STI, Renault 5 turbo, Renault Clio V6 Sport, Golf R, previous Focus RS', etc etc. Putting awesome drivetrains into compact/economy cars. It was the basis for the musclecars back in the 60's. Taking basically the smallest car the company made, and putting a huge V8 in it. The theory is still the same, it's just the execution that's different.
