Focus RS Now Confirmed for America

[chalituna]

So coming from a avid Subaru fan, even the Subaru owners on NASIOC is rooting for the new Focus RS. Hopefully this will change Subaru's focus on making better looking cars since there is a new kid coming to town.

The fact you can't get a wrx wagon/hatch here makes the RS timing pretty sweet as well.

Ooh can I pre-order one!

Overall I like the looks except the grill filler and fog light surrounds, just seems to forced and looks like to many other such designs but I do like the integrated openings for brake ducts and lots or air flow for the cooling systems.

RS dead pedal is great

I think this makes it look a little better

Hood vents and I think the weels are a smidge wider at least the rears look that way...

IMO, they just need to make the cross bar piece BLACK, right now it's like a light black, kinda dark gray. If it was the same color black plastic as the grills on our car, it would look fine.

I was the biggest Subaru fan in the world, I've owned my dream STI. But Ford is now making the fun cars I want, not the other way around. Remember when the WRX/ STI hatch came out in 2008 and no one wanted it? So they started making the sedan only (the new WRXs are UGLY if you ask me) and suddently everyone wants the hatch again, so the Focus RS is going to fill that gap nicely for those people that don't like the new Subarus.

If this were the RS sold in the states I would be all over this...

Anyone want to do a PS with that grill bar in gloss black? I'm with ryst on this one.

Also it's a 2 door. The render is exactly what I didn't want the RS to be. It turned out exactly like what I wanted I must be the target market.

I'm in the target market as well. I think the 3-door would look great, but it doesn't fit in my family. I got pretty much exactly what I wanted-a platform where the time and resources were put into the performance. Everything above and beyond may look great, but will drive up the sticker price as well.
