RS is coming - ZX3_2NV - 12-12-2014
So Ford's official instagram posted this today.

I can't wait to get more details so I can get back into the focus game.
Just came across this article saying it's coming to North America and more specific CANADA http://www.msn.com/en-ca/autos/news/the-ford-focus-rs-is-coming-to-canada/ar-BBgFctx

It'd sure be neat, I'd trade in my car for an RS. esp if it was awd.
RE: RS is coming - paolo - 12-13-2014
im happy its coming, but its not like myself or anyone i know would reasonably buy one. it might be kind of expensive, and with the traffick on the 401, it would be such a waste of a nice car to drive as a daily driver, unless i win the lotto max or something..
RE: RS is coming - 2000zx3sct - 12-13-2014
If it's AWD I'm def going to consider it .
RE: RS is coming - Drivesthebeast - 12-14-2014
It will be Ford's answer to the STI's and EVO's of the world, and with any luck, they stop holding back and release the same vehicle in every market. I mean c'mon, the Mustang was made the first nameplate for Ford on every continent...with that goal surpassed, they can start doing others...
RE: RS is coming - konafocuswrc - 01-06-2015
Ford is proud of their Revoknuckle system or something. I doubt they are going for AWD.
RE: RS is coming - Spinal - 02-03-2015
Well boys, it looks like its AWD....who would've thought.

Hrmmm ditching the revoknuckle?! Damn. I was hoping for off the shelf upgrades to mk1s
ah well. Awd is always a hair more fun.
RE: RS is coming - stupica1 - 02-04-2015
not going to lie...im not as excited as I thought i would be to see the RS coming out...i think its because theres been soo much hype over the years now that its finally here its just kinda....meh. It looks neat and all and sounds like it'll be killer but I dont know. not for me anymore i guess.
RE: RS is coming - MikkelRS - 02-04-2015
I think my biggest pet peeve would be the fact that it only comes in a 5 door. no 2 door option
http://www.cnet.com/products/2016-ford-focus-rs/ Great video to watch, I am happy to see ken block into it.
RE: RS is coming - dBlast - 02-04-2015
It looks good to me!
I may have to trade in my ST for one when it becomes available.

its a very nice looking and fast looking car, but its waaay too rich for my blood. id rather buy a used neon or something, save up some $$$ in the bank and use that $ for raising my kids
RE: RS is coming - 2000zx3sct - 02-05-2015
I agree looks pretty decent , just being a 4 door is the only flaw . Only other thing I don't like that much is the front grill having that plastic piece in it.

I'm pretty disappointed that it didn't come in 2 door. Body wise I don't think it's different enough than the ST where are the wheel flares.
RE: RS is coming - drunkinmonkey - 02-05-2015
ken block taking it for a test drive

Not surprising there tbh, we don't get the ST in either the focus or fiesta in 2-door. I didn't expect this to be any different.

The Ford Focus RS order page went live in the States a week ago last Monday.
http://www.ford.com/cars/focus/trim/rs/
Although there is no Canadian web page yet, dealers here got pricing this morning.
It only comes one way in Canada, no optional wheel/tire combos or RS2 package like in the states. (At least so far anyway.)
Price for all colours except Nitrous Blue including freight, $49,695
Add another $995 for the Nitrous Blue.
Not taking orders nor is there any release/deliver dates yet.
RE: RS is coming - Stephen W. - 11-23-2015
Well, the RS pages are now up on the Ford of Canada website:
2016 Ford Focus: Build and Price page http://www.ford.ca/cars/focus/trim/?trim=rs
For someone walking in off the street with a small deposit and looking to finance the bulk of the purchase that 7% is going to be tuff to swallow. Especially when Subaru are offering 0.9% - 2.9% on STi's right now.
RE: RS is coming - 2000zx3sct - 11-27-2015
They have one on display at the Ford Factory in Oakville , bit rich for my blood but it was cool seeing one in person
