The most simplistic cost estimate is to look at the price of a Focus in the UK, and double it, to start, for over here. I think we'ed be looking at $40,000.00. So, all you young guys, stay in school, get a really good paying job, and start saving.

no one will be paying $40k for a Focus RS in North America, and you cannot base a future price on that car by just doubling the amount that the people in the UK will pay. Overall pricing strategies in Europe are dramatically different than the pricing strategies in North America. I really wish people would stop thinking about the price over there for a car, and making up some imaginary price that it would cost over here.
