The exhausts on the car would look better if they werent just end caps that from an angle you can see thin out like a KA's exhaust.

I can forgive it for its large rear spoiler as thats part of the RS.
Having had 3 new older RS Focus, Im now glad i didn't put my name down for one. Im a massive RS fan, but ... this car seems to have lost its identity, To me it looks like a volvo with an evo front bumper stuck to it....

Maybe if it was white I would love you more ... The Blue doesn't seem to be working
I wanted to love you, but its not going to happen .....


Nice Number plate thought .....

Cameras maybe?

I don't mind the white ones tbh but there is a little too much going on at the rear

When are we going to start seeing these on the roads then ? Next month ? End of the summer ?

Anyone got one on order and awaiting delivery ?

I quite like it, its a bit more "In yer face" than the mk1 RS but then you don't buy a 2.5 litre 300 bhp turbo charged hoonmobile to be subtle

Doesn't work in blue. Looks rather high at the front too. The lime green suits it better. On a positive note, nice pic of some airbags in first pic.

It does look boring in the blue, got to be the 'in your face' green to go with the styling.

Wheels are a bit poor too.

I have to say, I think it looks fan-bl00dy-tastic.

Blue is deffo the best colour.

Now due to the Reccesion hitting the company I work for (Construction) I couldn't order one even if I wanted one.

They look much much better in the flesh, guy up the road has just picked up his white one and I will have a look at it shortly.

Be interested to see how his gets on against my ST as well.

White would suit the car so much better.....
As to the performance it went quite well, I know I will get burned for saying this, but it sounded like a volvo.

In the pits there was a white Escort Cosworth and it just looked so much better than the current offering from Ford.

Cool! So they are 'out' then ?

What did ya think ? Did it keep up with your modded ST ?
