I was thinking that the Focus RS would cost slightly less than that. Maybe more around the $37k-$38k range.
Car and Driver is speculating $35K which would put it properly in STi, Golf R territory...
With this being the highly anticipated vehicle it is especially to north americans, they might just try to push for a slightly higher than current market price. It sure has enough to justify that for those who really want an RS.
Thats more likely at the dealer level then from HQ.
I was thinking that with high demand dealerships might sell for over MSRP. Do you think demand will be that high?
Really depends on the final spec and its price.
Can you imagine the demand of the car if HP was 350+ with US $35K price tag?

That is quite possible. Dealers know that folks that want this are very passionate about it, with some willing to pay a bit more just to be one of the first to take ownership.
$40,000 could be it, especially after reading the following terms of conditions on Ford Performance Ken Block Experience Sweepstakes, where you have the opportunity to win a Focus RS:
but it is unclear how the car is spec'd.
They're saying likely under £30,000 in the UK...
I found a tidbit from another member:
That's the base cost though. I took at look at the ford site and I will need to pay and extra 1.5-1.6k for freight fees alone. But this is for Canada. Not too sure about the U.S or the UK.
I thought I heard the Ford fellow talking vaguely about pricing while standing in front of the Stealth Grey car and saying that it would be priced competitively with its main rival the Sti. So whatever those come in at hopefully the RS will be in that neighbourhood.
Which is undercutting the Golf R, STi priced at $34,695 in the USA.
It also makes me wonder exactly how close to that price is "competitively priced"? +$2,000? +$4,000? 
those numbers only look good with headlines saying "x is CHEAPER than x" but really it doesn't make a difference to those with money actually looking to buy.
Couldn't it be a non-RS Focus?
Not when pricing is in line with the Subaru STi
With the Ford price leak of the 2016 RS at $35,730 for the starter package, I would estimate that the 2017 Focus will cost around that if not a bit more.
