$36,605 for the RS focus!

Oh man! Nearly 37k for a focus! Now I'm feeling much better about the starting price on the new SS. http://beta.motortrend.com/auto-show...-36605-in-u-s/

Kind of apple to oranges though.. Think its priced reasonably for what it competes against. Wouldn't mind one at all, but for the money id look at other options.

That focus is a nasty little car. And it's price is on par with the evo/lancer that it's classes with. Don't let the name "focus" fool you. Tune only cars are gonna hurt alot of feelings.

That focus with Bolt ons will be faster than a mustang gt with bolt ons.

As long as the components last.

Even without the bolt ons it will still keep up with a gt most likely

While I do understand it's a different market, I just can't justify the dollar to dollar performance. I'm all about four banger cars, and I can't wait to get my hands on the 2.0t camaro, but what are you really paying for in this segment?

Lol... But the camaro is overpriced starting at 700 bucks more.

Question.

Is that Ford pricing without destination like they always show?

With destination it will be more than a 1SS

Half the guys on 6g don't know the price of the car the site is based on... Ford advertises/ promotes pricing without destination with their vehicles typically.

Different strokes. I personally think the RS is priced right.

Yes it's a focus. But it's also an RS. Last generation RS was a beast.

36,605 with destination.

And yes, it's a Focus variant. However it's very well priced with the outgoing Evo and WRX STI.

345 HP..AWD..seems like a good deal. It more than likely won't be stowed away in winter like a lot of 6th Gen garage queen Camaro's will be because they can't handle weather, or snow.
