Give me a Focus RS with 305HP vs this Taurus and I'll gladly pay 35,000 - 38,000 for the Focus!
Lighter, sportier, sexy and track worthy!!! Gimme it damn it!!! NOW. ;)

You're delusional. Name ANY new car in that price range with that HP.

The Volvo C30 (with turbo 5 cyl.) is essentially a 230HP Euro Focus, starts at $32G and as with any Volvo once a few options are picked it is through the roof and it is a sales disaster.

$50G is the buy in for the 300 club. (STi/EVO/Infinity etc.)

EDIT: One exception: though I haven't spent a lot of time considering it, I guess the new Tiburon (Genisis Coupe) even loaded comes in well under $50G? It's probably a screaming deal if one looks at it without brand bias and plus its RWD.
