we have a black president??!! OMFG!!! /sarcasm

im a bit slow on the car news... (homework)

[oaklandopen]

well i think because ford is the only big 3 company left that hasn't failed they should bring that car over, i think it's fucking sweet. and ford doesn't really have a pocket rocket here now and they could take over for the american side if the srt4 and ss cobalts stop being produced

Did anyone see the RS on Top Gear this past weekend? I was surprised that Jeremy actually liked it...considering he hated the MS3.

BTW, you shouldn't convert british sterling directly to USD for cars. They have a VAT over there that adds a significant cost to vehicles.

Yeah, the "flawed also-ran" MS3 he tested for a week in the rain (upyours)...it had "too much power"....

Ford's put it's development $$$ is the admitedly attractive but, still a shopping trolley, '10 Mustang for NA and into the little RS for Yurp. I know which one I'd put my money on, if I had a choice and, I've owned 3 Mustangs, including a supercharged 5.0.

RS, FTW

Seriously...I don't know why he made final judgment on a car that he knew had a lot of power to the front wheels when he was driving it exclusively in the wet with summer tires...I wonder if they'll give the '10 MS3 another shot.

[MAZDAturboCX-7]

Tight(rockon)

[gudzspeed3]

it was more power but its also slower and heavier than ours. WE WIN lol
but its a sick looking car. love the styling. i saw the blue one and white one on top gear as well and they looked amazing.

[Sphincter]

Ya if they ever decide to bring the RS to the states, it's not going to be that cheap. It'll probably be close to $38K. I'd love to see them stateside though, don't care about pricing.

[Kymerik]

it'd most likely be around 33-36k putting it on par with STis and Evos...which is it's competition...NOT the cobalt and SRT4...the SVT Focus would be an SRT/Cobalt SS fighter but seeing as the SRT4 is dead...maybe SRT4 caliber?!?

you can't directly convert them. in Spain an MS3 costs something like 19k euros which is way more than the 23k dollars it costs here

[H3br3w_Ham3r]

Remember that the Brits pay way more taxes. For us it might come out to 27K or around there.

What i was saying was it'll be competitively priced to its DIRECT competition :) I didnt do conversions, just being savvy :)

if they make that thing 27K here, it'd be selling like hotcakes
