i'm being serious. settle the fuck down there focus fanatic.

they've been saying this about every focus RS that has come out, and every year...it never comes over the pond.

 

[Rotard]

I know you were kidding. Even if it came over here I still don't think it would sell. They want 30k for it but its FWD and looks like a hot wheels car.

ST would be better choice

 

[Ear Rak]

if they dumped the body kit and lowered it to 25k, it'd sell like hot cakes here. Its too euro for the American market though.

Plus, doubt ford would bring a sport compact over that could beat their fabled mustang.

 

[Rotard]

So the ST then: 225 BHP, should be around 25K, besides the orange paint much more subtle. This is the one I would want, then they could just offer the RS at whatever price they wanted, like the GT500/GT500KR relationship.

 

[Ear Rak]

that one dont look too bad IMO. not my style, but it would sell better than the rs

 

[Rotard]

Over there this car pretty much pwns all other hot hatches, besides the Astra VXR. It would slaughter pretty much any FWD car on sale right now over here in a comparison test.

instead, the cobalt ss is left to own the sport compact world

Cobalt SS just got canned too

Perfect time for it to enter market, no real competition, just like back in 02.

SRT Caliber: heavy, slow, 30k, looks like minivan

MS3: redesign makes it look awful, basically a Focus anyway

GTI: Nice but a little slow for the cost

C30: Basically a Focus, same engine as ST, too expensive

SI: Slow, no boost, no torque

WRX: still leader but now ugly

Lancer Ralliart: No manual, slow

ha!

actually the SRT's start in the lower 20's according to the stickers I see on them.

 

[Rotard]

Well shit, thought they were priced higher, older SRT-4 was way better though sorry but I would not buy a caliber
