you can say that about just any high performance hatches
as already mentioned this thing is probably more German than your average Mercedes.

I was supposed to pick one of these up before I was looking at BMW's and looking for and ultimately picking up an ISF. But the dealer I was working with didn't communicate with me at all.

Two days ago they asked me if I was still interested in one.

NKC ONE 05-19-2016 01:33 PM

Had one offered to me at $5k premium. Pass.

Galactic_Phantom 05-19-2016 05:23 PM

Is this only for a limited production run?

brrrz 05-19-2016 06:07 PM

All sold over MSRP?

Either a lot of bad he said she said going on or people just going to the wrong dealer. Each one we were allocated didn't go for a penny over MSRP.

Might be why we already have a deposit for a 2017...

I am honestly baffled where all the hype is, I get its a performance benchmark for the hot hatch and all the "history", but *&#$, it's still a focus interior with a fancy seat and plastic erywhere. I feel like it'll be a big rush of orders then once they're actually delivered and people get to physically sit in them, the buzz will drop off... Also I love Ken block and all, but the hype around the drift button is waaaay too much, it'll end with a bunch of people in polls in crystal mall parking lot. Now if only Subaru would pull their head out of their ass and throw the JDM motor in and bump the power...

I got offered to join an auction. I think it was Key West. How many did you guys get allocated? I heard there was only 200 allocated to Canada.

Have you even been in the new focus? I absolutely love my ST interior. Wayyyyy nicer than the mazdaspeed 3 and sti interior (of the previous generation, not been in the new sti yet)

underscore 05-20-2016 06:37 AM

Hopefully they don't end up like the i8's, everything super hyped and then 3 months later tons of them with low k in on trades.

i could substitute "focus" with "STi" or "Evo" and most of the above would still apply. Yes, the drift button could be considered to be a gimmick, but it is what sells in its intended market.

competitors will now offer a "rarry mode" button and be able to sell their cars for $15k over MSRP too Kappa :troll:

For its entire production or just the first MY?

Xander 05-22-2016 01:29 PM

The first MY. But then again, that's just what I heard, I was hoping brrrz would chime in.

jasonturbo 06-19-2016 07:13 PM

Unrelated, but any of you Ford geeks know what the pricing for Canada will be on the 2017 F150 Raptor?

I might have to buy a work truck again, wanting something with a high douche factor.

Mr.Money 06-19-2016 08:51 PM

I say 70 grand canadian for SuperCrews

lol. probably more.. the 2016 f150 limited supercrew is about $75k. i wouldn't be surprised if the raptor was pushing $80k+

jasonturbo 06-20-2016 06:28 AM

US pricing is supposed to be 50-55K MSRP, I can't see Ford asking for much over 70K CAD.

Then again they priced the Focus RS too high IMO.. so maybe I just don't get it.

I also worry about the reliability of the fancy new drivetrain... and could live without the paddle shifters.

320icar 06-20-2016 07:28 AM

LOL guys a 2013 raptor is still 65+. They were over 80 new.

just lease a lariat or something

jasonturbo 06-20-2016 06:11 PM

My Ford guy tells me no official pricing yet, expect 80-85K+ CAD.

Ouch.

Almost every dealer across Canada was allocated one RS and I think there are about 100 in BC alone. Originally Ford said the RS was only going to be a 2 year model run but last week they announced they will bump it up to three. My guess is they will end up doing a 4 year run with these. The Ford GT is the one getting 250 per year with a two year run.

I did hear that dealers were doing an auction on these. But not to name names but there are also other dealers out there who make fake window stickers and replace them with the Ford window sticker with a $5k,$10K+ extra mark up. There is one particular auto group owner who is known for this. We dealer traded in a truck with a MSRP of $58k and a dealer forgot to take off their window sticker which listed the truck at $71K...gross

Ford has not given Canadian dealers access to build a Raptor yet but our guess would be around $80K
