It just wont have the same appeal in my opinion.
Well, yeah... It's got 80 more BHP, 4 wheel drive and will have different bodystyling........
Bit like an escort cossie in that respect
It looks very much the same as the ST to me. Yes more power and 4x4, but they cant just modify the ST underneath and stick an RS badge on it.
I think they have to do something drastic with the body to make it worthy of the being an RS, instead of just a new and improved ST.
The said that though... I mean, ford wouldn't put it in it's RS clothes while they tested it as people would go "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!"
Most folk on the street would think "oh, some Star Trek fan has chavved up his ST...."
It will look fundamentally different to the mule you see here. Come Geneva, the Focus family gets much more than a facelift. Following on from the sleek and sexy new Mondeo, every Focus body panel bar the roof will be new, bringing it into line with Martin Smith’s 'kinetic design' body language. So while mechanical changes will be minimal, the refreshed Focus will look distinctly different to today’s model. It’s the same inside – the Focus gets an all new interior that again borrows heavily from the Mondeo with plenty of soft-touch and alloy-look plastics and considerably more design flair.
