imagine how many of them will get HOONIGAN stickers!

I think it's a cool car, and I highly dislike ford, but the price is waaaaaay steep.

45k for a hopped up Focus with a maxed out drivetrain?

Pass.

Can't wait for the first article to come up about somebody wrapping theirs around a tree when using "drift mode". I foresee many hoonigan stickers, 15:52 wheels, bc coilovers, and vape clouds in the future.

So true. I'm almost embarrassed at times to even own a Subaru lol. People have asked me if I'm stage 2, if I vape, if I do any rallying etc.

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm glad you broke your rule for just the 4,410th time.

Hmm, Focus RS with fanboi markup or this?

http://www.lexus.com/models/RC

Sure, it's not the top of the range, but it's also not the top of the range econobox either.

$36k MSRP seems fair to me for that car. I wouldn't pay the $10k markup, but for people who HAVE to be the first to own one, that's on them.

I'd take this over the Golf R if I could only have a single car for daily driving and weekend track.

Msrp of 36k +10 = 46k

I think at Msrp this is good deal but not for 46k.
I guess I won't even consider rs for at least few more years

Your thoughts ?
Why would you not expect that? If you wanted one at MSRP you had to order early.

And then get frustrated like me.. still waiting for Ford to assign a build date to a car ordered in early Oct 2015.
