2018 STI MSRPs are like this:
$39,495 - Base
$41,795 - Sport
$46,595 - Sport tech (guessing this is the closest trim to CTR equipment level)
2018 Golf R prices haven't been announced but my guess is about $45,000 for the equivalent package
2018 Focus RS is $48-50K? (granted in comes with snow tires/wheels)
Yeah. 2017 Focus is 48,400 anyway. Loaded (only option is nitrous blue) and freight it's 51,263. So 9k more! that's a very nice winter beater on top of the Type R.
If the Base R comes in at 38,500 or something - Major win.
