2010 Ford Focus RS production started

The 2010 Ford Focus RS, set for showrooms in April of this year and will be offered to more than 20 European countries including Russia, has just begun coming out of the production lines in Ford’s Saarlouis factory in Germany. Ford predicts that UK, Germany and Switzerland will be the highest volume outlets of the new Focus.

The car factory in Saarlouis has been the home of the three- and five-door variants of the Focus hatch, wagon and sporty ST versions. For the RS, however, a special team was assembled to install numerous exterior and interior design details exclusive to the vehicle including new body parts to accommodate broader wheel arches and track, supported by modified, deeper side rocker moldings and bespoke front and rear bumpers.

The purchase of the car. Shipping it over. Import tax even though its a Ford. Converting it to left hand drive. Registering the vehicle. Other bs fees that I cant think of the govt makes up so you can fill their pockets. It all adds up.

Ford is doing some pretty incredible cars. The problem is that they don't come to us. Let me drive this in canada and I assure you that I will drive Ford for the rest of my life!
