I don't understand why Ford and other companies don't release good cars in the US.. I would totally drive the Focus RS.. maybe not in green though..

The last picture looks pretty good. The back of the car however is butt ugly.

regardless of how it looks, this car PERFORMS. they are suppossed to be bringing this focus to the US, but i don't know if its going to be rs trim.


this is basically a mazda 3 hatch with different clothing and more hp.

ford will be bringing us better cars, but they'll lose money in the process.

This is why I hate internet forums, everyone comes to forums and hears bad things about products, companies and even car companies, and they think because a lot of people on the forums say the same thing then everyone in the world must be having the same problems. Ford has completely rearranged themselves in the past few years, yet no one wants to give them a chance to prove themselves again because some people said their cars weren't reliable.

that's sorta what hyundia is in the process of doing along with their re-vamp in overall auto design. who's going to be the first to buy a genesis? not me...

I believe the Focus RS is one of the more aggressive looking hatchbacks made at the moment. This one taking the bold front fascia of its previous generation and enhancing it greatly. The flared wheel arches along with that aggressive crease in fender that extends across the doors to the rear definitely improved the overall look of the car; but the glass behind the doors and the tail lights killed it for me. Its like having a hot fudge sunday with a pickle on top, it just doesn't look right.

Now the day the 2010 Subaru Impreza Coupe rolls out, it'll be safe to say that RS will have to retire from being one of the baddest looking WRC cars around. (Didn't throw the Impreza Coupe in to try steal your thread, just to show something tougher is brewing)

yeah but damn I really hate the styling of the WRX since 2006...04 and 05 were the best years for WRX design, EVER.
