Default Focus RS pics

Right off the back of a truck, here we have the new Focus RS at Brad Garlick. Apprently all sold but I just heard Rockdale Ford has a White one left on the showroom? If interested give em a call.
We also have another one coming in, this time in white. (They are all sold). This car is just everything you would expect, seeing it in the flesh is much different than seeing it in pictures. In the flesh there is just too much to take in, so many details.

Anyway, ON WITH THE PICTURES!!

The interior pics don't do it justice. The interior is as good as any porsche 911 and the seats are Recaros front AND rear. Everything in it is super tight, the Germans do do it better lol

However the RS in blue is gobsmackingly intriguingly attractive. In the green is just umm, cheap and tack.

Small car interiors just don't do it for me, but from the outside that's a damn nice looking vehicle!

You must be looking at something else as the only colour interior in these pics is black and grey

From what I read ... in the vicinity of the top-of-the-line FPVs regarding pricing.

But damn that looks like a real fun toy indeed. A back-road screamer.
