It DOES look really nice, BUT...
What on earth is the deal with all the colours in the cockpit? Grey seats with green sides, blue stitchings on the door card, blue numbers in the speedo, red needles and orange radio display.

Just been reading about this supposed revoknuckle horseshit that Ford have been peddling, supposedly it's a copy of what the Megane R26 has been using now for ages and Ford have just sold it to the motoring press as something revolutionary when infact Renault came up with the idea and implemented it to the Megane, but because their cars are GOOD anyway they don't feel the need to shout about new technology to justify reasons why they didn't have the balls to fit 4WD system.

No, 2WD with a LSD but Ford are trying to say that their new technology with prevent it ending up in a ditch.

I can't blame hardcore Ford fans for buying it as it looks gorgeous, it will be a good car. But you are always going to have the purists saying it should have been 4WD to be a superb car.

If I bought one it would purely be because it looks fucking cool & has enough power on tap. I wouldnt be driving it to its limits & going on track etc as its not what I do. Im sure it will drive well on the road without 4wd!?

I think Ford may be a little jealous of the success Renault had with the Clio, and now Vauxhall have with the Corsa VXR???
it is an RS?
