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.
The ST will be middle ground like in Europe, all the RS suspension goodies(excluding the engine and RS unspecific parts) at half the price.
the RS will provably be re-badge SVT Focus in the states.
