ST, more tuning potential IMHO, and better value.

RS no question. As good as the ST is, it's mass produced and just not as special.

RS for me
the rs was never what ford promised imo and i dont mean this as a insult to any frs owners but a piss poor atempt to get back into a market where the evo lives
again imo thr st is more refined better car alround , the down side its a volvo but are they not back pedalling now saying rhat they will build another rs labeled car

ST for me and agreed about the wing badges, i'd go with the standard indicators fitted instead. In black looks good when clean, everywhere i looked aford fair they were blue or orange

RS for me superb car and IMO the best handling RS every straight out of the box.
I really am thinking of selling the Saph for one next year.

Nearly everyone saying RS seems to be doing so "cause its an RS and rare" or based on looks.
So I think you probably need to start the poll again and say what you want from a car, as I was answering based on power potential etc
