BUT..... Not for sale in the US!

Nice car and I'm glad Honda fans can finally buy a car with a real engine from factory. If ever it gets to US...

Nothing says badass like a Prius rear end with quad tail pipes.

I hate Honda's and I hate hatchback's. Bit I hope the Focus RS smokes this piece of jap crap.

It's 4 door ? Or what... The pic's are odd.. no rear door handles but it has the door body line.
Honda is a good product, my DD is a TL type S.. it's fun for what it is. That civic though will not ever be in my driveway.

The handles on the rear doors are up high like on the sonic and spark.

Awesome that honda is finally offering something like this. They need a performance something in their line up to compete with cars like the WRX, GTI, and those other 4 bangers that are good performance packages.

I honestly hate the way it looks though. If it was a little more simple and smoother in the design, I would say this car would be a major winner. Honda quality, reliability and now fun factor. Win win win just not a fan of the design at all. Looks awkward.

Two things , 7:50 ring time is smoking but the "street tires" statement has me skeptical about the time ..

granted, not a production car. Im not sure how different the production car is.

Not bad actually! The fastest ever FWD car on the Nurburgring was a Renault Megane RS in 2011 with a time of 8:07.97

Its crazy, horsepower will be very easy for them to gain now from being turbocharged but can you imagine that torque steer and inevitable wheel hop? Also its a bit too outrageously styled for me personally but it'll sell like hot cakes lol

Looks like they put WRX-STI Quarter panels and fenders on a neon.......

Just wait till you see the insurance rates.....

And guaranteed to be the most stolen car of them all once they hit the street....

I will be trading in my 2005 Ford Focus for a 2016 Ford Focus RS next year. It'll be the king of the hot hatch market until the others catch up.
