Huh?! ¿Por que? This as close to the Ford WRC car as we'll ever get.

You might want to Google Escort RS.

Sorry Jeff, but after the former Big 3 got on with making cars that didn't turn the air in SoCal into a dense, toxic cloud, they got down to making some of the first sport compacts. So did everybody else, but the Omni GLH was an entertaining little hatch, and the Saab 900 Turbo a larger entertaining hatch [talk about turbo lag!].

Unfortunately, some of the more exciting cars of that ilk never came here, like the Escort RS.

Would You Buy a 305-Horsepower Ford Focus RS? I would. The RS is sexy.

I miss my GLHS :(


But yeah, I'd be up for a Focus RS. Or even a Fiat 500 Abarth. Europe gets all the cool hatches, they should share.
