345hp was indeed impressive and as usual they'll tune it enough that its easy enough on the engine and not entirely push it too much... makes me wonder how much more tunes can extract.
have you tried ford.ca yet?Any word on Canadian pricing? Or does anyone want to make a speculative guess based on the US pricing?
No word on Canadian pricing, but just for you I did some arithmetic...Any word on Canadian pricing? Or does anyone want to make a speculative guess based on the US pricing?
That's fair estimate as Golf R starts $39,995 here in Canada.No word on Canadian pricing, but just for you I did some arithmetic...
Its crude but its a place to start the conversation.
In the US the Focus ST is priced at 68% of the Focus RS MSRP...
In Canada the ST starts at 27K, which would seem to indicate the RS MSRP in Canada is closer to 40K...
I spec'd out the RS on US configurator: Frozen White, RS2, moonroof, alloy wheels with super sports total price is $41,680.That's fair estimate as Golf R starts $39,995 here in Canada.
If I had to guess, RS would be about $200 cheaper, making it $39,795 base.

I wonder if they just did a simple conversion? Ford.ca doesn't mention the RS anywhere...If this article is accurate, it starts at $46,969 for our cold friends north of the border.

$50k+ out the door, it's going to be steep for some, worth it for others that really want it.Wow that is a big price increase. Hopefully its not quite that high. I suppose we will see soon enough.
yea but thats $50K fully loaded including a high quality set of winter alloys and tires (worth what maybe $3-4K)$50k+ out the door, it's going to be steep for some, worth it for others that really want it.
But sure seems to slot into its segment perfectly
