Huh they announce it early ? Well it looks disappointing a bit.

I think i like it more if they remove the bar holding the license plate.
 
It's revealed and yeah; I was honestly expecting it to look a bit more aggressive. Oh well, the only problem I have with its styling is the grill. Still though, it's awesome that it's going to actually be AWD, like should have always been.
 
Good looking car, then. Plus, they finally added the all-wheel-drive that people have been begging for since the late '90s. Yes the face is a little squishy, but it already is across the lineup to begin with. With a proper gearbox and an output close to 300 BHP, its a fair bet that this thing will walk all over the STi and the Golf R, and probably steal a few sales away from the Mustang - because hatchback.

Everythings great and nobody is happy. What horrible times we live in where Ford gives everyone exactly what they wanted and everyone's upset.
 
Yeah the front bumper already grow on me now. This generation Focus is really good looking and the RS just looks great. I'd wish for flares but it would look to extreme imo lol

Highly doubt it, the ST is 250hp.

I know, the AWD rumour is in the EVO article too, that's why i still have doubts.
 
350hp/AWD sounds dangerously close to beating a Mustang GT.

The standard focus st is already something like 3200lbs. I have a feeling this one will be more than 3500 with the awd bits. I doubt the power/weight ratio will be better.
