First mod, FORD! It needs a new unique sporty steering wheel, not a parts bin one that looks like from a Fiesta...

The wheel seems fine to me?
Parts commonality and shared design elements are normal..hence why the 2012+ Camaro has the same wheel as the Cruze |

Not to me... it would help make the interior more unique and apart from any other regular Foci. But I do know what you mean, my '12 Camaro SS had that shared steering wheel...

Ken Block drives the new 2016 Ford Focus RS
from the article: If you're a carmaker that has a good relationship with Ken Block, and then you decide to bring out a 320-horsepower, all-wheel-drive version of one of your hatchbacks, the only obvious choice is to have Mr. Block take it out and thrash it around the inside of the factory where the beast is built. 10 pictures and videos in the gallery . |

Not a ford guy at all but this looks like it would be a pretty fun little car.

Would prefer an auto (laziness/personal preference), like the VW Golf GTI-R. Maybe they'll eventually add it. The WRX STI doesn't offer one though.
