considering the advantages of buying this hatchback, and ford actually realizing what people want to buy, i might even consider buying this.

 

Nice car. ____y that ford dumbs down their cars for the US.
5th Gear is a great show. Love it.

 

Sorry but NO Fords for me unless it's a convertible Ford from the '60s...

 

nice, too many nice cars dont make it to the US.

 

Yup saw it awhile ago on Fifth Gear. (BTW Top Gear>Fifth Gear). Nice car, seems like they did some nice work to make th power usable. Weird how Ford is a good car over there and here it is not too hot. Who knows maybe one day they will see most people love hot hatches.. Nice car and good find on the web.

 

If they sold that here for $26k, it would decimate everything in it's class. The Focus RS is ____ing badass.

 

it is an amazing looking car!!

 

they have them in mexico. i havent seen that particular one in texas, but i have seen that body style. u could buy one and bring it over to the states. and 25000 pounds equates to about $50000

 

That's not how it works.

 

Yeah, car prices from the UK I have notices are not 2 for one as you would think they are. (2 US dollars to 1 Pound) Not sure why, but it isn't.

 

It depends on the exchange rate. It is usually around $1.50-$1.70 US dollar to 1 english pound. My fiance is from london. I was saying if u bought it from the UK, u would almost pay double.

 

5th Gear > Top Gear

 

Yeah, if you were to actually go there and buy it with USD. If they were to sell it here, it wouldn't be anywhere near $50k, it would be right around $26-30,000.

 

^^ yea but that car will never be stateside unless u buy one from mexico

 

whats the verdict on importing a car from mexico lindo? cuz ive seen some nice rides from over there. I like all the different body styles... and they have Peugeot (i think).

 

from the 1st gen to the most recent, the euro focus was always better then its US counterpart. the Ford US gets the 'crumbs' that the Europeans dust off the design table

besides, Ford spends all its money on the F-150 & Mustang

 

damn...is it wrong that I'm more than a lil ... "excited" Nice find dave

 

look at the plate on the car

 

posting from phone...what does the plate say?

 

Michigan but it almost looks photoshopped but idk. Looks hot though.
