Hi, I think Ford finally has a Focus that is as wild looking as an Evo?

This is a ford I would consider buying. So when is it coming state side???

The images are not an RS, it's a photoshopped ST. I do like the vid though.

Have to see the color in person to appreciate it. Looks like a flourescent sherbert lime color. So quiet, like a ninja.

Would be nice if Ford brought a smiliar design to the United States.

Hopefully I'll be driving that soon. That's if it's sold in Norway.

White ftw.

You know, if Ford does bring this over (or its something very similar).
And it is as hot as many of us want it to be.
And there are enough of them to made to go around.
- If we don't put our money where our mouth is and buy em, we are going to look bad. Or be liars. Or both.

I saw that too. Many times manufacturers will put two styling treatments on different sides of a styling model.

I see that one side has a higher bumper. The hopeful side of me hopes that the higher treatment is a mockup for a U.S. spec bumper, but the realistic side thinks it's simply trying to decide on the final shape.

That's not a photoshop job. See the turntable under the car? That is a (probably clay) styling model.

I stand corrected on this, you are correct.
