New Ford Focus RS

Anyone else catch this announcement today? 320hp and AWD. This will be a crazy hot hatch. The ST is already crazy fun with 250hp and FWD. I can't wait to drive an RS.

My sources say 350hp. And over $40K.

Its ancestor was/is pretty awesome too.

Pretty freaking cool, I would definitely drive one. Ford is really on a roll as of late.

Not surprising. The ST is almost 30 with goodies, and that AWD kit and motor can't be cheap. I'd still drive the hell out of it!

There is a dealer in Phoenix that still has a couple 2014s on the lot (as of a couple weeks ago) and were asking $26,000 for them.

That's a good deal, and about what my folks paid for theirs after rebates and a sweet deal from a dealer they know well. But sticker on an ST with all the options comes real close to 30k
