yes but the RS isnt a base Focus either... and even then the FQ-400 is roughly 35k

Even as a 5 door, that thing is beautiful. But I still don't ever see them bringing it here.

I like the rendering I saw better.

If Ford brings that here and price it to compete with the STI's I would buy it.

Using that conversion makes no sense. Cars are WAY more expensive in the UK. The Focus ST, ST1 pricing if converted from the UK to US would be as follows:

Current UK exchange rate is 1.58 US dollars to a British Pound. At £21,995 in the UK using the exchange rate would be $34,752 for an ST1 Focus ST in the U.S.

That's almost $10k off. I'm guessing the RS starts low 30s before options.

I still can't wrap my head around a fwd Focus that will be costing the same as a 370Z,STI,EVO,Mustang GT,Camaro SS being sold here in the US. I doubt it will happen since even the STs aren't really flying off of dealer lots.

Both renderings look pretty good but to me the new one seems more aggressive.
