Considering this type of vehicle is exactly what I'm looking for you'd think I'd be excited about this, but I'm not. Mainly because I already have a deposit down on a Golf R, but also because this just isn't my taste. I find it's a bit in your face styled, the interior should be fine but not as good as the Golf IMO. Other problem I have is that germans typically understate their HP ratings while mericans do the opposite. So will 320ish hp actually be more than what is made by the Golf R at 292 hp? Other reason I like the Golf R better is you can adjust the ride. So if I'm feeling like I don't want to be shaked rattled and rolled today I can set it up for comfort. Some people might also be upset that the Focus RS will probably not offer a automatic, but I could care less, manual is the only way to go.
I'm actually more excited about the Fiesta RS, mainly because it will probably be $5,000+ less and offer similar performance to the Focus.
