    It's definitely hot looking compared to the sedated Golf R and weird looking STI.

    Should be a fun car. Wish they went with more of a ride body look on it.
    Mk7 golf R vs focus rs will be a great match up. I bet focus wins all performance aspects, golf wins in all refined catagories.

    Pretty safe bet as it would mirror GTI vs ST.

    250 hp?! That's gotta be wrong?
    "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."

    250 doesn't make sense when the ST makes 252 out of the 2.0. Also why detune the mustang motor, doesn't make sense.

    You never know. To get it to a certain pricepoint, it may have made sense to stick with the Focus ST motor, add some powa!, and the awd. I'd still buy it at that point, the 2.3L is just icing on the cake.

    What is seen cannot be unseen. Look at that rear bumper on the side profile. Hideous.

    is it really all that bad? i guess i need to get some serious seat time in something that has brake vectoring so I can formulate a proper opinion of it......

    also, that nose........kinda reminds me of a hyundai veloster nose

    I don't know. It's the closest thing we've ever had to the European hot hatch in looks and performance. I don't believe a better looking 5-door exists that will be available in North America. I don't like the high top sneaker, man van style of current 5-doors but this car looks hot. I fear it's going to be pricey though.

    Those recaro seats look so damn good! Everything else is meh for me exterior wise. Not much of a change interior wise from my 2014.

    The torque vectoring is actually REAL torque vectoring, similiar to an evo! F$#k yea! It just works in conjunction with the stability control, which makes perfect sense.

    Innovative Ford Performance All-Wheel Drive offers a new level of handling
    The all-new Focus RS exploits innovative new Ford Performance All-Wheel Drive with Dynamic Torque Vectoring to deliver a new level of handling capability and driver enjoyment, combining outstanding traction and grip with exciting agility and cornering speed.

    The Ford Performance All-Wheel-Drive system is based on twin electronically controlled clutch packs on each side of the rear drive unit. These manage the car's front/rear torque split, and can control the side-to-side torque distribution on the rear axle – delivering the "torque vectoring" capability that has a dramatic impact on handling and cornering stability.

    The control unit in the rear drive unit continuously varies the front/rear and side-to-side torque distribution to suit the current driving situation, monitoring inputs from multiple vehicle sensors 100 times per second. A maximum of 70 percent of the drive torque can be diverted to the rear axle. Up to 100 percent of available torque at the rear axle can be sent to each rear wheel.

    During cornering, the rear drive unit pre-emptively diverts torque to the outer rear wheel immediately based on inputs such as steering wheel angle, lateral acceleration, yaw and speed. This torque transfer has the effect of "driving" the car into the bend, achieving improved turn-in and stability, and virtually eliminating understeer.

    The AWD system has been tuned to deliver exceptional grip – with lateral acceleration exceeding 1 g – and great cornering speed and acceleration out of a bend. With neutral and adjustable limit handling, and the ability to achieve controlled oversteer drifts at the track, Focus RS delivers an exceptional fun-to-drive experience.

    To deliver optimum driving dynamics, the Ford Performance All-Wheel-Drive system was calibrated alongside the car's advanced Electronic Stability Control, in particular the brake-based Torque Vectoring Control system that works in parallel with the torque-vectoring AWD
