Possibility that Ford Focus RS might be coming to the US!

i would rather have a fiat 500, not even the Abarth
 
To be honest and I know I will take a lot of flack for this, but I can't see the point of this car.

It's really expensive to start off with. Not unattainable, unless you're over the hill. And even if you managed to sell your left but for it, I don't get how it would be fun after a day of ownership to explain to the insurance agency how you managed to total it.

Fantastic car I will admit, just beyond the means of most in almost every aspect.

Overseas it costs pretty much the same as an STI or Evo. I don't really see too many old guys driving either of those cars here.

We don't use the Euro, however:
The Swedish crown is really weak right now, so the numbers in Euro might appear lower than they should be..

Prices in SEK:
RS: 310 900:-
Evo: 415 900:-
STI: 469 900:-

But the point still stands: The Focus RS is ALOT cheaper than the Evo and the STI...
Edit. For comparison: The Focus ST costs 243 000 SEK.

Welcome to my communist country.
 
Yet you people were upset when our minister of commerce called Norway the last Soviet state! :p
 
We are actually, yeah.

EDIT: 67% of the Focus RS price in Norway is taxes.

The prices in Norway are pretty bad but still I'm sure it will top a hundred thousand in Denmark.

Edit: Nah, I was worng, looks like it's abut the same as in Norway.

Which means that before tax price has to be kinda low :think: I wonder how much would it cost to import from Denmark and tax it here...

Is it reasonable to assume that a RS without registration and VAT in Denmark is 163500 DKK? Or am I wrong?
