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. The only one missing was the only one that I would consider purchasing. What bothers me is that no one seems to be talking about the fact that it was missing. Ford promised one so I will continue to save my pennies. If they were trying to create more buzz and a bit of angst before they drop the curtain on it, for me, it is working...

New Ford RS Cosworth 4x4 cars?
New Ford RS Cosworth 4x4 cars....better late than never!
Now on the Cosworth and CosworthUSA web sites, there are much many spare parts for Mitsubishi and Subaru than for Ford (this is really sad for all Ford's RS Cosworth fans!),…gosh, why did it happen? Ford has a very great tradition of providing exciting performance versions of its compact and small cars. Such the big tradition of the Ford-Cosworth cars! I do know and you, Ford's current people, do you know?
These days the Rally-Sport cars which win rally and rallycross races (WRC, PWRC, Rally America, X Games, Super Production and so on), they have 4WD/AWD not FWD, not a front-wheel drive car like the MK2 Focus RS at all.
In reality, if the Ford's customer would insist on all-wheel drive, he will go to buy Subaru, Mitsubishi or VW. A lot consumers today want B-, C-, D-segment cars with all-wheel drive, Ford should sell this if they are willing to listen to what costumers want.
Why can't be all-wheel drive like an option used in the global Fiesta?
Why can't be all-wheel drive like an option used in the global new Focus?
I'm hoping to see the RS Cosworth 4x4 badge on Ford's cars like the current Fiesta and the new Focus in the future! This badge is a very important part of Ford's DNA.
Unfortunately, in fact, Ford should have put an all-wheel drive option for these cars on the global market at least nine years ago. But though the new AWD RS might be late to the party, it's patently the most desirable guest.
Would you like to Ford will produce the new RS Cosworth cars with all-wheel drive? If yes, so vote directly on Ford's oficial website for these ideas:
