Maybe they would have a hard time selling them.
I would'nt want a stripped out version. They good cars with the creature comforts.

I'd say they'd do a fiesta rs before they do a mondeo.

Ford need to reestablish the RS marque again. Its been dead for too long.

Easy. Buy a Ł6.99 socket set from halfords and make it lightweight yourself!!!

Take the interior out, remove all the a/c gubbins, take half the dash apart and you'll soon have the renault boys crying into their french fart boxes!

they dont need to simple, how many r26r will get sold and for such a little advantage over the FRS hardly worth it IMO

tbh stripping it out yourself would prob be the better option as they normally charge more for it for some reason lol.

give them time, they have only just released the focus as it is. cant expect them to go balls out on every model straight away.

Whats the point there was not much between the renault and focus anyway. And there would not be enough room on the boot to call it " the something or other "
