Is it just me, or does the article imply that the RS will have wide fenders and a more aggressive front bumper? It looks like they just took an ST body and are testing the RS drivetrain and hardware..
The only problem with bringing over Ford of Europe quality cars is that they'd end up having to charge near as much as the Mazda3 or Volvos and North Americans aren't used to that idea. They want to pay next to nothing for "economy" cars, especially the domestic ones.. The problem isn't just with Ford, I think a lot of it is still the fault of the North American philosophy of having dirt cheap cars so they can afford big expensive trucks.
