The Ford Focus RS is probably the best ford i"ve ever seen and yet ford in america is not selling it. It out preforms the mazda 3 speed which is one of the best selling cars in canada (not sure about the US). I just cant understand why they would shoot themselves in the foot and keep quality vehicles from us while there in such tough times. Focus RS belowClick for larger image

SHO's are just grandma cars with a little more horsepower, and a little more gas chewin ability.

Otherwise known as useless.

I couldnt agree more. Although the TT3.5L V6 is supposed to get decent mileage. Plus its AWD.

Ihave a 2001 F-150 that I got brand new with like 15 miles on it as a gift for making it through school.  I still have it to this day, it was 205,000 miles on it.  The only thing I have replaces is a windshield wiper moter once.  (besides breaks, oil, tires..etc)  Not trying to say anything is better, just saying Ford is pretty tough.  Thats all.

here you go its what the americans are gonna get it looks pretty cool. and i think that european people wish that they had are ford cars and trucks. the only truck they have is the ranger(mostly because of fuel). if we had that style focus instead of ares we would think the other one was awesome and wish we had it.
