Idk but it has to look like this:

And it better not be an I4
 
I hope they'd make a wagon version

And it better not be an I4

If it isn't turboed, could I at least get a V6?
If they do make a wagon version why the hell would they change the engine? Then it wouldn't be a wagon version, it would be a completely different car. Why wouldn't it be turbo? Why wouldn't it be I4? The RS already have a turbo I4 engine. Why would it be a V6? No Focus has a V6. None of this makes any sense.

You do realize that the new RS has already debuted, correct?
 
So, a bit of hypothetical on the Fiesta RS - How much power does it get before it steps on the Focus ST's toes? Or does that all go out the window because of the RS badge being on the grille? Granted, not having AWD will keep it in its place - but how much will be too much? Do we really think Ford will give us the real goodies we want, or, will it be a lot of digital enhancement on the car?

I'd be happy with 230 BHP, with a real LSD, six-speed manual, 18" wheels/tires, and some level of adjustment on the suspension. Don't need much, but, that'd be enough to keep it from surpassing the Focus ST by too much.
 
The Fiesta ST is nearly a performance match for the Focus ST already. I don't think the Focus sells over the Fiesta on performance, it's just flat out a nicer car.

Also note that the Fiesta ST and Focus ST are barely different in price. $2,000 difference base to base, and the Fiesta ST can actually become more expensive than the Focus with a few options.
