It's not.

They just can't use RS because it's tied to GM here in the states as far as I know. All they did was change it from Rally Sport to Sport Touring.. or something like that. Euro RS will be a direct translation into a Euro/US ST Focus. Why they can't use GT like the Mustang and build something akin to the SS 'brand'..

Remember that GM is also selling the Cruze RS in Europe so imagine the rights battle that might pop up there over 'RS'.

It's not like GTO.. which I still don't get.
