Thats a fair difference for cars that might perform in a similar manner? Does that not put a bit of pressure on Ford to keep price down a bit?
Also given its a more "global" car the economics should be a bit better?

That is a very interesting question indeed. I think it would depend on how well the AWD handles compared to the STi. If the price point is on par with the STi, then I think a few subbie owners will be test driving this little beast out and possibly making the move. Especially if the AWD system has programmable power between front and rear wheels if I heard correctly. But that is all speculation on my part.
Seeing the back to back tests between this Focus RS vs the STi vs the EVO vs the AMG A45 and any other AWD hot hatch out there will be the very interesting factor.
