Some say his droppings have been found as far north as York, and that he has a full size tattoo of his face, on his face. All we know is he’s called the Stig.
I read the RS here in the US starts at 35,000. Which of course will go up in pricing depending on the features you add on. Sorry to say, but yes Ford is an American brand and is our pride and joy. We offered Europe our best engineered Mustang yet. With the new IRS and three different motor options. Of course the Europeans want to feel what it is to drive a true American muscle car. In return we get the RS which is my long anticipated Focus that I have been waiting for. This car will change how the US looks at the Focus. This car is not here to play anymore. Its here to prove that Ford is becoming a global icon. It's my Ford pride to drive the RS and feel the passion of the engineers surge through this great car. It's an honor to live in the golden age of Ford.
+Jose Romero What.......You know that Focus, Modeo even the new Mustang came from Ford EU, Not Ford US right? Not even in the same league. That is why people discuss with Abbreviations like Ford EU and Ford US, because we all know the Ford US is a piece of ****
Kevin Li It's Ford global now, so this fragmentation your creating between Ford US and Ford Europe is whole bunch of non sense. The term one team ( that's if you know what it is to be in a team) is a catalyst that is creating much more for the Ford world. It doesn't matter who is contributing what. It all has one purpose for the future of Ford Global. I learned what it is to be one team as a commercial sales manager. Our success is still growing due to that. It's great to see how some people get stuck in the past and don't look at progression.
Jose Romero Globalism does not mean there isnt a difference. The reason why focus RS was assembled in Germany is because its cheaper but with better built quality,I am not sure that is indirectly saying the factories in the U.S or mexico are incapable of producing the similar amount of quality so it would be more expensive to have them here. On the other hand, Focus being built in Mexico has a lot more problems than the ones that you bought from EU. Same goes to the Chinese Factories, a lot of problem in China now regarding to quality controls. So, yes I did not say Globalism is wrong, but you dont get what I meant.
+Jose Romero While you drive your Focus RS, please remember how lucky you are, I've never felt so passionate about a car like I am now with this new Focus RS, and guess what? I do not live in Europe or USA and probably I won't have a chance to drive one.
It's the best RS to date, and I honestly feel the passion you are describing. I believe not only in the RS, but the brand in general. It's a great time to be a Ford enthusiast and it's just the beginning. I have an 09 Ford Focus SES and I love it. It means a lot to me for various reasons. I still have to save up for the RS, so my hard work will get me there. There will be away for you to obtain the RS. Never let boundaries depict if it's a yes or no answer. Where there is a will there is away.
Can't wait to drive this one, owned the last one ... it handled like a dog because of the torque steer, 4wd in the new one will transform the driving experience.
Ford Fusion 2013 still with warranty, only 10kmiles. . , 1 year having problems with gearbox and front axe. More than 45 days at the authorized repair shop, no spare car offered. No solution at all. . Very dissapointed with Ford. NExt time only japanese cars in my options!

I love the way that they make the cars
Finland 52 000 € + accessories = 62 000 € (winter tyres included). Anyway ordered. Long time I have to wait. Maybe April ...
Tommi Virtanen 52000€ for RS in Finland? Im glad I left finland and went back home to Australia. $54,500 AUD for RS
we finally get the RS here in the states!
Is that an Irish accent the guy in the middle has?

STIG whooooohoooooo
Sounds like maybe save a little more money and get the 350. A lot more power than the rs.
Mustang gt350?
+Anjeluvadavis the new one.
+Chris Gordillo yes . Base is only like $6k more than fully loaded focus.
3:02 £29,000
I don't like Ben Collins, and he's not The Stig. He used to be, but then again, Lance Armstrong used to be the 7-time Tour de France winner.
+Jochem Hinloopen Great comparison.
Thanks!
This is a Ford Europe person interviewing a Ford Europe person with a Ford Europe paid shill. Must I remind you of that.
