R32 V's New Focus RS

[maxamus]

cant beat a bit of brand loyalty eh?

25000 is cheap for this car if thats what it costs..there will no production golf that will come close, in terms of handling or performance..interior finish will be good and it will be as reliable if not more so than any r32 or gti...

these are facts by the way...

you dont have to buy one, jut dont be pissed of when you get blown away by one.

How do you know its better handling and better performance than the R32?
And how do you know its got a good interior and as reliable as a GTI or R32?

At the moment there is only a press statement from Ford. No one has actually seen or test driven one so your basing your comments on what?


PS its not getting launched till 2009

Wasn't the original talk about the RS being around 280bhp with FWD & Special diff? Wonder where TG have got the twin-turbo/4WD info from

Yup, that mirrors my sentiments too

come to think of it, Ford have been bangin on about this before the ST was released. They havent delivered and doubt they will considering all the mess Ford is in at the moment.

Yes, but read it closer and it says Ford have OFFICIALLY announced that they are building an RS.

Then again, by the time it gets to 2009 it will probably be a 1.6 zetec in drag with the money they'll have by then

Not to sure about it...300bhp and that lil extra weight from all that wider arches etc....its a ford and i may sound like a brand whore buts yes i think almost any one would choose a VW over a Ford. Not really sure about it...think id still have my money on an R32...annddd VW have said that the MK6 GTI would have a more powerful 2.0TFSI engine and they still havent announced what the Flagship model will be so.....think about...the MK6 is said to release around late 2008 early 2009 so....think the up coming models would be the competition to this focus....

well, i wish the next GTI is a V6 with rear wheel drive pushing atleast 260bhp

Nice as it would be, I doubt it would happendue to the CO2 emissions. It'll more likely be a souped up 1.6TSI with around 250bhp
