Focus RS Mk2

The Ford Focus RS Mk2 with 300hp from a turbo-charged 2.5 liter inline-five is being released in Europe. I would like to take one of these for a spin!

For once, Ford fixed the failcus. We are supposed to get the Kinetic Focus after the current design cycles through. A Godsend, now GM just needs to get that Cruze to market and make a 3 door hatchback version of the Aveo SS to fight this thing.

It's been on sale since March in Europe. Coming to the states in 2011. So, I have heard.

idk... i don't think the cruze is that great... i mean supposidly if they were to have a ss cruze it'd only have 140 hp and they'd totally have to redesign the aveo to even compete with the focus. It would be cool if gm would step up to the plate like ford is in the turbo performance catagory but i doubt seeing it in the near future due to the performance division being gone i think the last small econoperformance car we will see is all of the lnf and lsj cars of late
