There is a reason domestic manufactuers have basically permanent 0% financing for 96 month offers, etc. Becuase they have to.

Yes, Ford has come a LONG way over the last 5 years with their vehicles, but they still aren't at the same level as the Japanese auto makers. This is especially evident in the interiors, I'd be very surprised if the Focus RS interior was anything above just passable.
