@fordofeurope

@Guillermo8908 sure, thats because we(Ford) have a long tradition of building our cars into rally or racing cars, for example the british touring car mondeo, the escort rs cosworth or the rs2000. i drove one of the rs500's and you can truly feel all of the experience gathered in those long years though the car.

[Guillermo8908]

@flowbroerhan Yea I have a Corvette. Much rather have that than the RS. In it's class though, I feel that it is far superior to any production hot hatch available in the States

[flowbroerhan]

@Guillermo8908 well it is a shame to say it but it is unfortunally the truth that the american car builders cant build a car as good as the rs ( in its class of course) the only way to get your hands on it is getting one second hand. but to be hones, i would sell my soul to get my hands on a mustang fastback or a charger :)

[Guillermo8908]

@flowbroerhan Exactly, cause they are cool. We don't really have good hatchbacks in the States. If you want a fast car on a budget you get a Mustang or Camaro. They are cool, but then you end up spending a lot on gas and anytime it snows you have to go about 5 mph or you spin lol

[flowbroerhan]

@Guillermo8908 they are already sold out ;)
