Ford Hits 1000 Pre-Orders For Focus RS

I hope Ford brings this one over to the states.

I never liked Ford other than the fastback mustang but DAMN this little hatchback can definetly change my mind.

Hell Ya! This thing is bad ass. And the electric Green looks exactly like the green on the Porsche 997 GT3! Looks good, that interior is top notch, if Ford doesn’t bring this car to the states, I can no longer be a “Ford guy!” It’s hard to argue for domestic car companies when they don’t even sell their best products, IN AMERICA!!!!!

i have to give them props, i still don’t like tuners but it beats the svt focus which was like a gaint go kart. i hope ford gives this one a forced induction system otherwise its just a fuckus with a body kit

this car looks bad ass, and whoever posted the shit below mine is a fuckin retard because where you buy a car from doesnt mean shit! my family has bought all american cars except for my acura that i got and had for two years and was a total piece of shit! american is the way to go!

Its nice but its an American car there for its a POS and not worth anyones money or time.

you are an idiot to say that a civic is better than a focus…better mileage, yes. but that’s all that is can do….

I don’t know, looks like they threw an Impreza WRX STI body with an EVO X Nose, mashed it together, made it a coupe and said “Here you go, the 2009 Focus RS!”

that is one great looking car. I wish Ford would bring half of there global cars over here for us.

if ford didnt have their heads up their ass’s they would bring it to the US and help solve their money problems

This is just what FOMOCO needs to get back on top of things! I have NEVER liked the Focus, but this thing looks absolutely wicked!

This will be the first REAL performance in a small car that Ford has produced in twenty plus years! The last was the Mustang SVO and the T-Bird Turbo Coupe. Ford looks to have come out of the closet with this baby and they would do well to sell this car in the states. I can only see positive ramifications from the release of this car.

To the guy who wrote that Civic Si’s are the best, I think your off your rocker on that one! Ford just hit a home run!

When can I get mine???!!!???

damn i dont care what anyone says that car is friken sweet, i’m sure it’ll smash on honda’s all day long. definitely a nice looking car

LOL its a fuckin ford idiots ford=no pussy

This car is SICK!!! this is all that ford would have to bring to the states to come back on top again!!!!

import the mofo!! thats got to be one of the sweetest thing to come out af a ford factory (obviously excluding the ford gt) mustangs are nice but they only have 5 more hp and i bet this things probably a little bit nice. with 100 more hp than a civic SI this thing kicks ass

nearly 300hp Id say its a decent little car i imagine its pretty light so it prolly would be pretty damn quick for what it is

FORD SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CIVIC SI IS WAY BETTER

I Think They Should Bring It To The U.S. Its Really Cool. All The Import Companies Like Mitsubishi, And Volks Wagen Are Selling Nice Sporty Cars. Why Do We Americans Have To Choose Between A Big American V8, A Tiny Little l4 That Bearly Runs like The Chevy Aveo, and An IMPORT V6 Or L4 Sports Car That Runs Very Nice, When There Is An American Company That Makes Nice Cars Like This Focus That Don’t Have Such A Big Engine And Could Be In The Same (Sporty or Tuner) Category As The Lancer Evolution Or The Subaru Impreza WRX. I Don’t Understand Why They Don’t Sell Them Here. It Would Bring A Lot Of Customers, And It Would Help The Economy.

I wonder if it is the T5 engine from the volvo c30. I’d take a c30 over this any day.

Damn that’s a tight car! Reminds me of the new STI Imprezzas with the hatch. It would be nice to have it here in the States even though I’m sure it would barely pass emissions. Too bad we gotta worry about emissions and crashes cuz we get the slow ass flex0fuels and hybrds while Europe (who doesn’t give a fuck about people dying on the road from stupidity) gets the hot 5mpg super cars.

If now isn’t a good time for small hot hatches (or any body) in America, when is? Ford just doesn’t get it.

GM has the Cobalt SS Turbo, Dodge has the Caliber SRT, there is the MS3, WRX and GTi. These all sell well (the Dodge worst of all) and gas won’t be any cheaper. I know that the T5 won’t get great gas mileage, but it will be viewed as an economical choice if brought here.

i want that

MY GOD! that is sexy, US always gets the shaft!!!! i remember when i first saw the FIESTA RS concept, i got hyped up to be let down, they neeeeeed cars like these in the US sales are down and what a way to bring them up!!!!!!

WHAT is FORD DEBATING ON…BRING THAT RS to the AMERICAN SOIL, so WE CAN ABUSE the SH*T out of it !!!

Wow, we get damn hybrids and overseas they get things like this.
I’m sorry, but the gas efficient car trend is dumb. If they bring things like this back to the US, maybe they’ll pick up business.

thats accutaly nice id take that over a matrix or versa anyday

ford is stupid no wonder they lose so much money.
if they cant bring cars like this to america thell go out of buisness

Change the Back end, and its a winner.

looks purty good for a fuckus!

I think this car is badass!

My car is still better than the RS….of course all the money I poured into it; and if they had them in the states, I could make this much much more powerful. Pfffff. Come on FORD! Give is the RS!

thats sick and i hate the focus. they need to bring that to america, i bet thatll out-sell any cobalt ss or si neday

Who the hell drives a focus anymore anyways lol. People quit driving them back in 03 lol. I still see way more civic and cavy/cobalts and corollas

I had a Ford Focus SVT and that baby was anwsome. Wished I had a Focus SVT again. This new Focus RS looks great. European and all over the world beside North America don’t get these cool looking cars.

It’s a good looking Focus…sort of a rally car

I’d tap that! till I relised it was a Ford product…

i think its kinda cool. i kinda like the design. it looks hella F-ing better than any other ugly honda or import hatchback. But at the same time it makes an American company look bad. Why are we catering to the ricer-freaks? Ford needs to stick with american muscle. maybe in europe they like different designs like the ford ka, but lets not start designing cars that make us look as low as honda.

I most say this RS looks sick this would be the only Ford that i would ever buy, that is if Honda wouldnt make a TYPE R but Honda did so i will stick with the TYPE R. Still this RS is sick just bring it over to the USA mofos

whats up with the focus st and y we get the shit fords and Europe gets the hot fords

who gives a damn lol

eh. its just a rebadged Volvo c30, but It looks good compared to the other craptastic designs Ford puts out each year.

fuck ford .they are layin me off soon anyway. how u gona be here and give the good stuff across the pond

damnit Ford, just bring it over here NOW!!!! quit pussy-footin’ around!!! and don’t change a thing!! I want one just like that!!!

I liked this the first time I saw it… when it was the new Scirocco…

To hell with the Americanized version, those always look like crap compared to their Eruopean counterparts. If I were to buy one of these, it would be the pictured or nothing (especially in that color).

I really hope we get this hatch.

This Focus model would sell like hotcakes here in the US. Too bad the execs in Ford are a bunch of dinks…

Of course we won’t see it. In Europe they are already on the MK III chassis of the Focus, we here in the US, well, we are still on the MK I chassis. I have not figured out why Ford, along with several other car companies(VW included)are afraid to bring their European cars over here. It just kinda makes sense to do so.
