But last time I checked the Focus RS was selling for 52K + taxes at Key West Ford (the dealer mark up... I know), and that is me sitting down, talking numbers and took it to a good 20min test drive, put like 6KM on that thing lol... odo went from 27KM to 33KM when I was done with it... just for perspective, a base 5.0 GT is at 39K, a decently spec'ed with all the performance packages comes to like 47K and that is still undercutting the RS by 5000... yaya I know one is a 2 door rwd coupe, the other is a 4 door hatchback... but I am shopping as a second car anyways, my wife didn't give me a limit...

Went to Open Road VW afterwords, didn't get a test drive, but spec'ed out a Gold R with a sales rep and came out at 48K + taxes...

seriously though... if this is north of 50K like the RS is right now, they are going to lose alot of the market share on pricing alone...


And as mentioned... all those are AWD... the Type-R will have to be pretty special. My only hope is that Honda got the integra Type-R so right.. so maybe it could be an ace in the hole...

Personally, can never rock this look at my age lol... I would be ashamed to bring it to site checks to meet my clients with it hahaha
There is a $4,500 incentive on 2016 Focus RS. Or at least here in Ontario. There is no reason to pay a mark up on a Ford. Even the GT350s here in Ontario go for under MSRP
