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.

Nooooo. Love the specs, but I'm in late 30's. A grown *** man can't be driving that boy racer thing. Look at it!! Lol.

Depends on how the interior turns out.

It looks like an st interior and

Would never pay 40k for that hocus focus Ford pos lmao.

I'd rent one though.

I haven't seen any pictures of the dash and stuff. I thought base price was gonna be around 35k? That puts it right in line with the Evo and STI

at least with the frs/brz you get that nostalgic feel for them 50-something folks remembering how it was back then.

but a focus? wat nostalgia feel do you get? bad news? ford pinto? :ugh: nightmares? LOL's? :ugh2:
i cant see myself in any of these boyracer hatches. si-r included.

42k for a focus....no....especally considering the a base model GT350 is at 48k

I would wait and see if Mazda brings out a Mazdaspeed3 I had 04 Mazda 3 hatchback 5speed manual and loved it.

This:icon18:...I'm still debating whether I'm too old for the sti limited with low profile spoiler. Really, really need a fun sedan and use the Z as a weekender.

And this...:icon18:

Not my cup tea with the ferb fuckus. The old ones had some problems.

Yea with that price tag they are looking at my demographic. Yea I could buy one. Would I? No never. In the forties? You kidding? Rich debutant kids and the tiny "don't know any better my age". Naaaaa. It's what has kept me out of a GT or STI last few years.
