#NYIAS: Ladies And Gentlemen, Start Your Engines! The Ford Focus RS Has OFFICIALLY Arrived In The States — Real-Life Pics HERE!

The Ford Focus RS has been something that's eluded the North American market for years now and enthusiasts have been chomping at the bit to get their hands on one. Turns out the Blue Oval can make your dreams come true.

That's because the all-new Focus RS will be coming to the U.S. for the very first time.

Essentially, if you've been dreaming of setting up your very own Gymkhana track and doing your very best Ken Block impression, this will be the car to do it in.

Making its North American debut, Agent 001 spent some time getting better acquainted with the Nitrous Blue example on display in the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York City. Check out 001's snaps, below!

Overall I like this car because it will be an awesomely fun car to drive and I think that is influencing my opinion on the style/design. Front end, too busy and the mouth guard look is strange. Agree with Dexter on the tail lights. Finally there should be a "discrete" spoiler option. For a hot hatch A. Interior is standard Ford and I really detest the boombox look (and cheap feel in many cases) of the center stack. Interior C-.
