Looks what's arrived in England:

Reads well so far!  A bit brief, but sounds good.  More subtle than a Focus RS (well I'd bloody hope so!), and much less wooden than prior models.
My favourite bit (especially for Kev) is "before you have added the must-have DSG option"!!
If thats on autocars website, then I imagine it would be in their magazine next Wed?
Nice to see a RHD one exists... so hopefully the factory will be churning out some soon!

Is there anymore of the R in that colour on there?

Afraid not - it was the only one of that car... and not exactly the best quality photo either!

Shadow blue 5 door - not a great pic!

Don't whether I'm getting old, but I much prefer the look of the 5 door Rs. I think the 3 door looks a bit "stubby". Love the look of this 5 door white one with black wheels:

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!

I don't know if its ages, but I'm the exact opposite!  I think the 3 door looks much better as the 5 door looks too long!  The 5 door especially looks bad when the wheels are too small - but the 3 door seems to carry smaller wheels better.  Probably due to the optical illusion the doors create.

Agreed though - white with black wheels is  :cool:

There are new photos popping up every day now that they're actually being delivered in Germany... so 1 will be uploaded eventually!
