It's going to be hard for Ford to get potential customers to get people past the Focus stigma of a cheap or rental car perception just like Dodge had with the neon srt-4. Enthusiasts might buy the Focus but I think that group is very small. I also think this car is priced too high. The reason the neon srt4 sold was it was the fastest car you could buy brand new for 20k at the time and was several thousand cheaper than a wrx or an evo. The WRX starts at 27K and the Evo starts at 35K.

The Focus RS is already largely sold out...soooo...seems like it was an easier sell than most thought it would be
