New focus RS?

A bit suprising it still hasn't been discussed.

4 pot engine, 350bhp to the front wheels, (probably heavier) and guess what....only 5 doors! What a joke, it seems that every company is following the trend, deciding to stop making cars for the true enthusiasts...

I was never a fun of the last focus RS' looks anyway (big no), and handling wise....well...that autocar video where the clio 200 cup was easily keeping up with it in the twisties speak volumes. (that was embarassing by he way).

But this one...oh boy oh boy...is going to be even worse...especially when the rear looks like it came from a cheap japanese car. Sad times...

The one thing we all hate is CHANGE but once it's done there's no going back so we are lucky in one way we at least had the last of the NA engine super mini

Personally hate the looks of the new Focus, its the rear lights that ruin it, looks wise the old focus RS was perfect especially in that green colour
