Anyone have any thoughts on this car? It was revealed officially today, 320hp, AWD hot hatch.....might be an STI killer lol
320-hp 2016 Ford Focus RS revealed - NY Daily News

 

Dang that looks good. Reminds me of a focus st except more sporty

 

looks awesome, possible 70% power to the rear wheels and mechanical awd system rather than a haldex like the golf r....

sounds pretty good to. gm needs to step on their game

 

x2

It looks pretty good except for the back end of it

 

Wow that focus looks pretty good actually anyone know the what they are going to go for?

 

I would make a guess at $35K for a stating price

 

Hmm maybe seeing the car in person and driving it i could say if i would pay that for it but it would be nice arou d the 25k mark 30k max

 

That's the range of the ST so unfortunately no way that will happen. I think Bill had it right.

 

Lol i said it would be nice, but that sucks 35k i would maybe get a different thing bjt like i said i would have to see it first and maybe drive it

 

Being a hard core Ford truck person I like how Ford is stepping their game up with this. I don't quite like the front fascia area myself though. Too much dull plastic.

 

Not much on the wheels either

 

Looks like an evo ripoff

 

Looks awesome to me. I'd rock it

 

Ehh looks like a Evo had sex with a mini van and got a big mouth Evo baby. Its gonna be fun seeing it try to hang with the wrx and Evo tho, around some tracks the next 6months lol with these new cars I always wonder how much power is left to mess with. Wonder if it can hit 400/400 with a tune and some bolting

 

Yeah it is nuts how much power they are squeezing out now with direct injection and everything. What I want to know is why doesn't chevy take that 4cyl out of the damn camaro and put it in a cruze. lol

 

It's going to do a lot more than hang with Evo's and STI's with how much power it has.

 

No joke. Hopefully the numbers are true to what we see off the showroom floor.

 

Give up on a Cruze SS.... Not gonna happen.

The Cruze is a fugly ass car anyways.

 

Even though the new Cruze is lighter and has more power, without the SS it's useless to many of us.

 

The Cruze has been useless since the day it came out.

Should of kept the Cobalt going.

 

Exactly ^^

 

I wish they did. The cruze comes with a grocery list of problems from the factory.

 

Except it might end up weighing over 3700lbs. The last gen euro spec RS was 3600 and change and they typically get heavier with each generation.
