Focus RS

* updated first page *

Here's more of the blue. At first I was dead set on white, but damn this looks good. And damn that FMIC looks niiiiiiiiice. SUPER disappointed the US won't be getting the sweet Recaro seats. I also don't mind that big dumb black plastic piece in the middle of the grill as much as I did after looking at these. I'm still dyinggggg to see ALL the colors.

[FLIPDADY]

That color blue is sexay!

Bringing this back up....caught a glimpse of it yesterday in person, and looks quite awesome.

[FLIPDADY]

Yeah as soon as the first one arrives at Yonge and Steele's Ford I'm going for a spin in it. Not looking to buy just know the owner's.😁

Tell them I'll do some photos if they want... I'm a Ford guy at heart.

This explains so much....

Listen, when you're 8 a Taurus wagon is the sh*t. So much room for activities.

My guess is a starting price of around 45K Cdn, options will have it hit 50K. Gonna be a hard sell but the car will be a beast.

[FLIPDADY]

Limited production will drive up the prices I'm guessing past STi territory like Jon mentioned.

Your prices are in the right range, there was a leaked pricing options page for the rs where you could build one and it showed all the prices just no pictures

That's the one! But in usd

[shift8]

The exchange right now will make it a non-starter in Canada unfortunately.

This is one time where manufacturers not following the exchange rate directly will benefit us. It won't necessarily be priced using a 76c Canadian dollar, just like a couple of years ago cars weren't priced identically in both countries when the dollar was at par.

That's true. As long as it doesn't need to be imported and is manufactured here definitely an advantage that way.

Definitely a car I've been looking at. We'll see what happens when it comes out.

[FLIPDADY]

@Aitch I will keep you posted as my buddy will be picking up the first RS from Yonge and Steele's Ford. Not sure what color yet but whichever comes in first. 😃

[betterthansx]

The said that they were pricing it against the STI. So expect it to start $38ish and all options probably $45 ish.

They are releasing everything September 16th.

If all of this is true, Nitrous Blue with Forged wheels and Cup 2 tires please!

[FD22]

Well, apparently the pricing is live now. And boy is it expensive.

How so? It is cheaper than the Golf R and a few hundred more than the STI? But 50hp more, 50tq more, more tech and it will be a silly fast car. I will be getting one now that they have released the pricing. I am happy!

Good luck. They will be limited and I heard there will only be 10 in Canada and 2000 in the U.S.

They said 12,000 for North America for the 2016 model year. After that, they will build as many as it takes to meet demand.

[mickey_g]

only 10 in Canada seems ridiculously low!

[MS3_]

Only 10? Damn.

[nigvlb_]

Not only 10 availible in CA .. Once the original 12-15k cars are sold, they will be meeting the demand for them in the following year.

[betterthansx]

Of the 12,000 Canada will probably get 1,000-2,500.

The Focus ST is huge in Canada so they will want to capitalize on that.
