The fact 1300 have been ordered with paid deposits says it all. They have got it right to sell it in numbers
Why would 30k+ be too expensive for a Focus,when the last Esc Cos were 25k+ back in 1995????
EVERYONE with the slightest bit of knowledge knows that 4WD would be the best route,but as the homologation rules stand at the moment,Ford can just tune thier ST in a much cheaper way!
I'm not saying it will be a bad car,HEY..i'm tempted to buy one myself,but its not the way RS's should be born from,in thier glory days it came from passion and from the best they could do....not a budget!....and this is from a guy that HAS owned nearly every RS,so i know a thing or two!!!
On the plus side,it will be great to see the RS brand alive again and maybe introduced to another audience,that may look up its family tree!
