You are being increadably niave if you think anyone with any sense is going to reveal their links with Ford on a public forum. I would have thought anyone in that position values their job a lot more than they value the opinion of a few forum members.

From the brochure
SUBMARINE LIGHTING
Dramatic submarine lighting directs two beams of red light around the gear lever for a more involving drive
Agree the Focus RS is old technology.
Suspension and tyre technology have moved on a bit since the FRS was conceived.
Re the Racing Focus bit some of my original paperwork states Racing Focus and the colour as Racing Blue.

No matter what the pub talk the V5 clearly states Focus RS so it is an RS no matter what someones personal opinion is.

MWF .. In amongst your own apparent paranoia, don't assume we are all the same.

Pretty obvious you dont work for Ford, really.

Ford.

Ford.
You appear to have completely assumed both of those points.
1. I have never claimed to have worked for Ford, however I will admit I am privy to some very secretive areas which I know shouldn't be discussed openly on forums because they are usually quite political. I wouldn't even discuss these with many close friends.
2. I do not assume everyone is the same, but the fact still remains, disclosing company information you are specifically told not to isn't a good idea on a public forum. Anyone with any sense should know better. I'm not about to get close friends sacked, or destroy business relationships for the sake of a forum.

My comments about Ford reducing the value of the RS marque is purely a personal opinion, one I beleive I am entitled to last time I checked. I might be wrong and we might see a new Focus RS released which is far better than the ST (and that would be great) but if that doesn't happen then consumers will remember the fastest Focus and Mondeo's wear an ST badge on the back.
