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-...ar-BBgFctx

It'd sure be neat, I'd trade in my car for an RS. esp if it was awd.

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..

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...

Ford is proud of their Revoknuckle system or something. I doubt they are going for AWD.

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.

I think my biggest pet peeve would be the fact that it only comes in a 5 door. no 2 door option Sad

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.

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.

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.
