Default A 5 door RS......

Found this:

http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/ne...-expected-2015

is it right sticking it on a 5 door hatch, the other ones have been 3 doors and IMHO it still should only be put on a 3 door..........

Making a 5 door Focus RS, it just seems a bit odd, as the previous ones were 3 doors.......

Thoughts?

There was no RS Granada or RS Mondeo........5 door cars

my initial thought on reading the article was, shame they've not developed a 3 door niche for the latest RS Focus especially in Europe

The saph is the only 4 door RS.

But yes back to the question, it's the same as the current ST is only 5 door, where the previous were 3.

It doesnt look as aggressive to me as the current model, think they should do a fgew more tweeks to give it more of a road presense.
