This car has two competitors over here in the USA (STI and Golf R). Overseas it has other extreme hot hatches to compete against. I don't see it getting very much love here after initial hype dies down. I say that because I really don't see many people, aside from those who are really into a car such as this, stepping up to pay 36K for a Focus. Yes, it's had a ton of extra engineering and technology put into it to make it go faster but the market isn't as big here for it.

I could be proven wrong and it could sell like hot cakes. I just don't see many jumping on this bandwagon when you can get more performance for a couple grand more (Camaro, Mustang and tons of others on the used market).

Edit: forgot another competitor: the Mercedes CLA45 AMG. Or at least I could see it being a competitor but good luck pulling those sales lol
