Might be cheaper.

But id rather the focus,it wont depreciate as much as the vxr will,RS residuals are fantastic.

I don't care, I know the Focus won't be great. It will be good, but people will always say it needed 4WD to be a great.

I'm never bitter about anything, why would I be bitter?

evo retested an FRS again, years after they did when it was released

and said they made a big mistake, and they were wrong, and what a great car it is

the diff action put many people off, but drive and use it to your advatange, and im confident it will still live with anything about at the moment

im not the biggest fan of them btw

It will be closer to £27k i reckon.

Only thing i'm gutted about with the new RS is, someone said they're gonna be making around 7000 units

Thats too many.

I'll just put it this way, I would rather have the old Focus RS as I prefer the looks of that over the new one, as to me all modern cars look the same, to me they just don't have the individuality like they used to.

it has a fantastic new suspension design, called revo-knuckle. you'll be amazed i'm sure

it will be a good car no doubt. and it won't be 33k for one either, fair bit cheaper than that.

my mate at work has paid a 1k deposit to be in line for one. should be good fun

if all modern cars lok the same why do so many people stare at mine and not the other generic car behind me?

Like OJC said, in its day RS price tags were justifiable because it was a different breed to every other working mans sports car out there. these days, for £27/30k you can get alot more car for the money, I would be very suprised if they do well out of this one now that new car sales have dropped by so much aswell

Im just projecting the price from the swiss figures, I do expect/hope it will be less mid 20 thou. 25-26k for one would be decent!!

It will be 25k deffo. Maybe a bit less even. Can't imagine Ford will make much money on them.

No it's just a different system of taxation, cheaper income taxes and capital gains etc etc. But make up money from higher rates of other taxation.
