Here's my question. Would a car like the focus RS be worth $42,000 loaded with just a manual? This is where Mitsubishi justifies it's $44,000 loaded price tag. The Cost of the EVO X transmission is $17,000. A LOADED GSR is about 36k as well as a manual STI.
If you ask me? The base price of the focus RS is $37k. That's about right for the loaded car. At the end of the day. HP in these type cars is a tuneable number.
And I'd this is the new standard in pricing for hot hatches? Then Mercedes Benz, stop holding out. Because the only hatch I'd shell more than $40k for. Shyt I'd even pay $50k for is the Mercedes A45amg. Real DCT, proven AWD system, an interior that has almost no competition. A 371hp 2.0 engine with the wickedest exhaust note.
