Just saw a truck full of green, white and blue ones at the local Autotrans yard. Gotta say the green is the pick of the bunch......I wish I had the cash

That Ultimate Green RS IS at Mt. Panorama on the outside of the Circuit. I was up there all day on Thursday but didn't get to see it in the flesh as I was pressed for time (but that's another story).

Cause they are AUS built... where as the RS is European built with name brands.

Not only that the GT's are built for cruising aswell....the RS IMO is basically track focused for the street.
Both are great cars, but I would take a GT/GTP for long drives.

RS is a more Focused (for want of a better word) seats like what exist in the RS are needed believe me, whereas in the GT i doubt the cornering speed in GT would be near an RS. GTP seats are still fantastic though

Spied one this morning in green. They certainly have a real presence on the road.

A few places still have them.
Can't seem to shift them. $50 grand and I'd think about it to replace the XR5

Yes these dealers are just bending themselves over, the next "XR5T/XR4T" or whatever they will call it will surely have more power, getting closer to the RS and make its value even more dubious....
Granted a XR will never be a RS but its bound to be a pretty good package.

Im not justifying the RS price at all but the power outputs are a fair bit different.

the next focus ST/XR4 will have the 250HP 2.0 eco boost engine. The exact HP/PS has not yet been quoted, but all sources say its about 250hp.
