Good question, it's a limited production, it may be tough to get one at MSRP.

 

Where did you read that?

 

Is there a Focus RS in your future? :wink:

 

Nope, dealers have been good so far. A friend of mine is on the list at msrp for the only one allotted to his dealer, heard from another with one qued with the exact same story.

And thanks for the link; I emailed it to him to torque his chain a little...

 

Arrived in the US a few months ago. Kinda ugly IMO, but it gets consistent praise as a seriously good car.

"I think I enjoyed this car more than any other we've tested in the last 12 months—McLarens, Ferraris, and Lamborghinis included."

I like the performance potential, but that front end is seriously fugly.

 

Saw three of them in person today. This one belongs to a M/A member....

That front end (overall body design, for that matter) looks far better than that of the modern day MINI.

For the 41K, I'm hunting a pre-owned Aston.

 

Agreed, that's why I'll continue to drive an '06 MINI.
And, as you say, at 41 grand I'd be looking at other options. In my case, an '06 R53 to go with the Justa.

 

Small world, I saw my first one today in that same

color. Looked good from what I could see.

 

Styling wise not my cup of tea but I can see a lot of young family types getting it to haul the kids around during the week and playing boy racer on the weekends.

 

Rapidly losing interest in small cars. Nice RS but not close to being on my radar.

 

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: :biggrin5:

 

I know your a Silverback...but your not going Buick??

 

So this just a sparked a good question. If your drunk and go shopping for a new MINI...do you come home with a Countryman?? Damn you beer goggles!!
