As for the rest of your childish rant.... Grow up :
so your going to sit there and tell me that people will buy a 63,000 ford escort cosworth from chalker just because they OUT perform an Evo that they can pick up for less than 40g!! BULL!

You second statement contradicts itself you twat. you say that im wrong in saying that there are abominations of escorts and seirras yet you agree that there are abominations. congradulations.

Wow youve lived in the UK. Congradufreakinglations. You want a medal? I have seen bastardized Seirra cosworths and Escort Cosworths in the plenty in the UK. Australia isnt he UK where medium sized cars with turbos are the SHITZ....Different population, different likes.

Who cares if a lot of people on this forum don't like FWD cars or the fact that the Focus RS is going to be FWD!!!! It may not even come to Aust and even if it does it will be in extremely low numbers...... so the less people wanting to get one the better IMO!

Leaves more for the rest of us who can appreciate a truly amazing peace of engineering and driving performance :

Besides I'm sure Ford's target market for the RS will not be Bogans in NZ! (and that is not a personal attack on you MAGPIE...just a marketing observation).

And everybody just calm down!!!

We rarely have name calling in this part of the forum, so let's have a collective "pull your head in" and settle down.

Some of this "discussion" is akin to arguing who is the hotter supermodel: Heidi Klum or Gisele Bundchen?

The fact is, you're never going to sleep with either of them!

And most are not going to own a Cosworth or an RS.

So let's get real and chill

Yes, I agree, their opinion doesnt mean anything. Online AND in the real world.
