Love it. seats Looks great and always good to reinvent the old names.
BUT
I personally wouldn't pay £35k for a fwd hot hatch even if it had 10 revo knuckles

pfft, its just a more powerful RS, nothing special, maybe if they made it 4x4....it would be quite a collectors item.

Matt black, welcome to 2009. Could have come up with some super cool colour at least
Not a fan personally, I do like the RS's but I think this is a waste of money

Thirty Five Thousand Pounds
Some obsessive Ford nut will buy these.
Hmmmm,
VXR8, 420bhp V8, 4 doors, RWD, big boot
or
Just as fast Focus, 2 doors, 4 cylinder, 16 valves, fancy suyspension, FWD
Sorry, different cars, different leagues, but £35k gets you some very nice cars, and a Ford Focus, no matter if its gold plated, would not be on my list.
Dammm even the VXR-S/R whichever has 300bhp, is like £8k cheaper isn't it?? Thats a Sports bike for summer days in change!!!

I admire them for making it, but as stated here only a handful of Ford enthusiasts will part with 35k for it

4 cylinder 16 valves? what planet are you on mate. they have a 5 cylinder 20 valve turbo lump in, same as the st...
i wouldn't pay 35k for it either but there are a lot of people who will.

Nice, but RWD or 4WD would have been better.
And Damsel has a point about what else your money will buy you. This or a VXR8 - No contest really.
