Not coming to America

These pics were from the Shanghai Motor Show for 2013 with the "Escort Concept." A name that, for most, stirs up thoughts of basic, affordable transportation rather than great driving dynamics or bold design.

The end product did not deviate much from this concept, as you can see

No Focus RS at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, NAISA

Everyone and their mother said that the 2016 Focus RS would debut at this years NAISA along wit the new GT, the GT350 and the new Raptor.
