U.S. to get next-gen focus RS?
North America could get next-gen Ford Focus RS
QUOTE
Could the North American market finally get the Ford Focus RS? According to the latest reports, it could happen. But not until after the next-generation model debuts in a couple of years. Like the new Fiesta, the next Focus is being developed as a global product, with the North American market in mind as much as those overseas. And with the amalgamation of Ford's performance divisions in the United States and Europe – SVT and Team RS, respectively – an RS version could reach American shores in a few years' time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's global performance guru Hermann Salebauch says the potential for a U.S.-market Focus RS depends entirely on demand. That is, if enough American buyers want an RS, it could happen.

Awesome. The Euro Focus is way better than our Focus also, being based on the Mazda 3 platform. We'll see what happens when they make a "world Focus", it just might mean that the new Focus sucks as much as ours does. I mean, ours isn't bad, but it's a low end economy car and it never lets you forget that fact while the Euro Focus is a much better car in every way.
I would love to autox a Focus RS.
