Very nice car indeed. The RS was one of those cars I was begging to come to the US and sucks cause I liked it alot. I'm glad you shared the RS with us. Do you mind posting pics of the interior?

Very nice car - ^^^^^ yes, any interior shots?

The ST will be here late summer/early fall - I'd imagine if it does well here in the states, they'll expedite the work on the upcoming RS!

"That's not a car... This is a car!" Too much?

Well, you already own one of the exemplars of front-drivers...but different design philosophy. I'd rather have the inline 5 turbo.

LOVE THE FOCUS RS! And BTW the Megane has 261hp and over 260lbft of torque, of course it would spank the BRZ. That's an unfair comparison.

Agreed. Dave's ITR is on the short-list of fun front-drive cars.
