I have no doubt it will be fast but.....its still wrong wheel drive. Itll NEVER feel as good as a RWD.

The Type R was in the works from two years ago and is part of their heritage of civics and integras. I think it's more about bringing back their heritage more than the Focus RS itself. If anything, the focus was born because of the Honda Civic. Not the other way around.

It seems like Honda is having problem taking care of the look and performance at the same time. The CR-Z had the look but no performance. This one has the performance but a body kit from Ebay. As of now, Focus RS still has my vote.

Honestly, I'd rather buy an Evo FE than the Subaru Corolla WRX or the Honda civic or the childish looking Focus RS. They're all trying to look boy racer at mid life crisis prices. The EVO at minimum, performs like a precision scalpel compared to all of its competitors. The Evo is not good lookingveither but it offers performance the others just don't quite have.

not much to say...I assume it will be competing with cars like the Focus RS. Only true fans of the car will buy it.

If you can find an evo fe and most of them are marked up because being the final year production and a collector car.
