Because its a crappy site with no copyrights, a dodgy flash as the whole content and the whois clearly isnt Ford! In fact it looks like its hosted on ISP free space @ 1und1.de 
Don't know who Prism International are or why you think they made the site though.

is it still gay wheel drive though, would be nice if they made a run of rwd focus's don't you think?, or a good 4wd set up then maybe they wouldn't have to mod the floor pan too much if they left the engine where it is.
i'm sure people would pay the extra premuim for that bit of extra fun.

no but if it's getting to the 350hp mark surely it'll start to struggle against something rwd with steering and putting power down, and just cos it'll be more fun for a car aimed at an enthusiast drivers market, and surely 4wd would handle better than a fwd on all counts in the same chassis.
i guess the point of your post is about how the chassis handles as fwd already, wouldn't you agree the same chassis and suspension set up would be better as rwd or 4wd though, i never said it was a shite drive i the first place but carrying the rs500 badge seems a bit of a let down to be fwd after it's predessesor (sp)

I bet it will be an absolute animal, having seen them on the road and hearing reviews if i could bring myself to spending that kind of money on a new car i would have one sat in the garage.
Look forward to seeing the new 500, not sure they should continue this 500 special thing on new models as it's irrelevant really - maybe better as RS 2.5 EVO

Dan I understand that but they market it on the success of the RS500....
What i'm saying is why make 500 just make an EVO model

I know you always bring this up to people who moan it's not 4x4, but what about those who would like RWD? Those who like hooning round roundabouts sideways, or simply pulling out of junctions with the back end swinging about. Surely FWD can never compare to the fun of that? Can't drift an FWD car after all.
