Link to the article:
http://www.caradvice.com.au/16401/fo...tic-in-the-uk/ Not surprising really. The ST is a cult symbol over there, so they'd be drooling at the thought of the RS. Not only that, but it's an amazing car!! Only downside is the FWD.

Good point. I doubt it's gonna torque steer unless under heavy acceleration. It's got an LSD in it, so that should take care of most of it.
Considering the ST kicks the VXR Nurburgring in the bum, I think we can safely say that the RS is already better than the VXR!!

i hope Ford reconsider their decision. it makes sense...the hero model of teh focus range will only increase sales. maybe FPV are scared they will get shown up?
