So if, and I know it's a big if ... Ford of Canada could sell the RS here at 160% of the entry level Focus ... that would give us a price of just $25,600. Personally I think there'd be long waiting list for that car at that price.
Yeah but Ken, they don't sell the sedan in Europe; that means that their entry-level Focus is the hatch that sells for £13,170 + VAT= £15,995 THAT one sells here for $20,000 + 1500 delivery + 13% HST (base) = $24,295. So (without knowing the price of the new RS) using the 160% differential that would ring in at $39,000, which is sticker for a Mustang GT.
Not sure if the lineup would be as long as you think. I know, I was waiting to lineup and got tired of waiting.
TEAM PITA: Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.
