I like it more than I thought I would.
I'm more and more interested in pricing.

Here is a link with some information. 320 hp, AWD confirmed. Subaru might end up regretting killing off the WRX & STI hatch. That opened the door for Ford to introduce an AWD turbo hatch of their own. I would consider one down the road if I need a more practical fun car. EDIT: Dave-ROR beat me to it.

No word on price yet? It has to be at least 32k I'm thinking?

Yeah can easily see this competing with the STI, Golf R, and CTR if it comes out. Not much else in that market right now though.

Looks like an STI and Dodge Caliber had a baby.....not sure what to think, but the performance numbers look nice.

I was wrong! Can't believe it.
Although in all fairness they've taken the direction of trying to broaden the appeal of the car and making it more commonplace, which is a mistake I reckon. |

Ken Block drives the new 2016 Ford Focus RS
 from the article: If you're a carmaker that has a good relationship with Ken Block, and then you decide to bring out a 320-horsepower, all-wheel-drive version of one of your hatchbacks, the only obvious choice is to have Mr. Block take it out and thrash it around the inside of the factory where the beast is built. 10 pictures and videos in the gallery . |
