Guest Removed Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 That car is on a VERY short list of FWD cars I'd own.. why am i thinking those are AWD? or are those just the rally cars model that was AWD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ef8sirJunkie Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 looks good great numbers from that car and a great LSD. focus sounds like its going to be a good seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 why am i thinking those are AWD? or are those just the rally cars model that was AWD? its not awd...i heard rumor that it was going to be before it was released, but according to ford, the weight balance is better and it performs better being fwd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I could probably sell a couple of those:) They do look pretty sick. I'll take one in slate grey on black wheels with a bigger turbo please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 why am i thinking those are AWD? or are those just the rally cars model that was AWD? The earlier Focus RS was AWD (The ones we never got ) because WRC rules said a certain number had to be sold that way (plus poeple liked the Rally connection). Think of it as Ford's Evo. But it was considered too extreme to sell in the US. Us fat dumb hicks wouldn't appreciate a rally car. This was is FWD only for some of the reasons mentioned above. So far the general reviews have said that it handles so well it doesn't need AWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Arg..FWD be damned. Not a "bad" looking car though. Sounds like another healthy option for the tuner crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Escort sedan has been replaced by Ford's new world car, the Ford Focus" yea, but he said the earlier focus rs...and the earlier focus rs was made in 02, and it was fwd thats like talking about a z24 and calling it a cobalt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 sources? everywhere i look, the gen 1 (02-03) was fwd and the gen 2 (the one i posted) is also fwd I stand corrected. I could have sworn the UK had an AWD focus that didn't make it here. Guess I misunderstood the article I read about this new one. Still doesn't mean that there aren't awesome cars over there that never make it here because we're too big a market to take a risk on.

The Focus posted in thread one is a nice looking ride, IMO. The Festiva is right around the corner, as well... They are throwing a diesel in there? I can't imagine that taking a foothold here in the U.S. They had to go through enough loops just getting the VW TDI back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
