If i was looking for an economy car i always have like the WRX but to see that Ford has a car that is just as quick is just awesome

it appears to be a very quick little focus, much more so than the SVT (which i always make fun of. just something about a focus SVT that makes me chuckle...)

according to car and driver, here are the stats:
2.0 I4
160 SAE HP (6500 RPM)
146 SAE TQ (4500 RPM)
Fuel Mileage: 26/36 (avg 30)
Weight: 2889 lbs
Price: 18k-24k

there was 65 of them sold here in the states and only 500 made... but they should have kept it going

gentlemen, you are correct. i was not looking at the rs500. thought the HP looked pretty low for such a badass little car! my apologies everybody. the stats i gave you are for the US version, i.e. girly! hahah (that is sad cuz it used to be american muscle that ruled the streets)

but the money and paper work involved to get that rs focus over here is outrageous
