FORD FOCUS RS $42,000 w/manual only tranny!

UNKNOWN_370 · 08-03-2015, 02:46 PM

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.

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.

Im happy youre happy. "Whoa!!! Mole. Moley, mooooollllllle Mole!!......" LOL

That wing dude!! "Whoa!!! Wing...wing, wing wing." I cant get over it. And the interior needs to be better. 2 things that are a deal breaker.

Edit: It is a sweet ride though. i DO LOVE the looks except for those two issues.

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
