There is an article comparing the new Focus RS to the Escort Cosworth.

Couldn't get my phone to focus for some reason but you get the idea... who's is the Escos? Anyone off here?

fifth gear did an EsCos VS Focus RS Review on the last RS....

The EsCos was quicker around the track, i bet this one would make the EsCos look silly.....
