I don't give a rats ass if it's twice as fast as a Mustang. Mustang is cool. Mustang is a thing of beauty. Focus is not and will never be.

If only they weren't going for $5k over MSRP, I'd stop lurking around here...

As fast? No. After 60 mph the GT walks it.

I almost bought a stupidly-loaded Focus, until my husband finally spoke up and said, "Ugh, why?!"
I had even thought of a plate for it already: CAR UGLY

I traded a Focus ST for my Ecoboost Mustang. The ST is a great looking car, arguably the best looking hot hatch out there. They uglied up the front end on the RS and the rear wing looks like they hired a 16 year old to design it. The ST was a hoot to drive and I would imagine the RS will be more so but I can see it beating a GT in the 1/4.
My biggest issue with the RS is the price, they start at $36k and to get one comparablely equiped to my Ecoboost Mustang Premium you are over $40k not to mention ADM that is being asked. When you get into that price range there are so many choices that I would rather have.

so your biggest issue with the Focus RS is that it's competitively priced with it's direct competition?
I honestly can't believe how much bitching I'm seeing about this car, but it's expected on a Mustang forum isn't it? Yet we all swing from the nuts of the GT because it's Ford's ultimate race car.
I expect Mustang fans on a Mustang forum. I expect Focus fans on a Focus forum, but damn you all seem to hate Ford's hot hatches with a passion, totally ignoring that the Fiesta ST, Focus ST and now the upcoming Focus RS all literally the top dogs of their class, and the Fusion is so good, that it's making it so there is no point or place for the Taurus to even be in the lineup.
FWIW, I didn't give much thought to the Focus at all until my wife expressed some interest in them in seeing a jalopnik article about the Shelby Focus ST, and I'm glad I did, because my ST is the shit. I can't even begin to imagine how awesome the RS will be.
