A few tidbits.

This is not the current Euro Focus and there is no next gen Euro Focus, or NA Focus, etc. The next gen Focus is well and truly a global Ford product with the program itself having being based in Dearborn for various reasons.

This is the next gen Focus ST, although the finished product may be somewhat different (or quite a bit different for that matter) since things can and usually do change at this stage. That said, it is important to remember that this is not a concept, Ford recently stated outright that they wont be doing concept cars anymore as they do not feel they are worth the cost and effort. This is effectively where the next gen Focus ST program currently stands in terms of development, which means we are effectively looking at a snapshot of the developmental process, the logic almost certainly being that Ford can get consumer input on what people do and don't like thus far.

RS cannot be copyrighted, it's a generic term like GT or coupe and, as such, anybody can use it.

The nose on this particular car is terrible with the unit used on the standard Focus looking a hundred times better IMO. I sincerely hope they rethink this styling element.
