Ford seems to use their Focus’ for rally. The older Fiesta is home to some interesting swaps. ---

The European Ford Fiesta RS is a nice looking little hatchback, I rented one a few months ago when I was in Frankfurt. ![http://www.toomanycars.info/images/2010FiestaRS.jpg](http://www.toomanycars.info/images/2010FiestaRS.jpg) ![http://lh3.google.com/kenny.yeo23/R-uD7QwWbYI/AAAAAAAABDo/vranP9m2ERM/%5BUNSET%5D.jpg](http://lh3.google.com/kenny.yeo23/R-uD7QwWbYI/AAAAAAAABDo/vranP9m2ERM/%5BUNSET%5D.jpg) However, I totally prefer the European Ford Focus RS, I took one for a test drive early last summer in Athens, I loved it! I think I might have posted it, I can’t remember??? 305hp out of the box and great potential for a lot more! Great car! ![http://autoworld.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/ford-focus-rs-2010-production-img_1.jpg](http://autoworld.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/ford-focus-rs-2010-production-img_1.jpg) ![http://images.thecarconnection.com/med/2010-ford-focus-rs_100193001_m.jpg](http://images.thecarconnection.com/med/2010-ford-focus-rs_100193001_m.jpg) ---

Ford’s best cars are in Europe. An American Company selling crappier versions to America. I love it. Ford Eacort Cosworrh, those should be available real soon to us. ---

> [@Specialedition"](#): > > man i dont like that at all. ken made a mistake on that one I feel you on that. When I think Block Ithink Subaru. At the end of the day Ford seems to really take care of their drivers and with more backing and a guy like Block, good things will happen. Ford has been in need of a replacement since Collin McRae’s unfortunate passing. Who better than Block to help Ford usher in a new generation of Ford rally cars, to be a poster child of the new generation of Focus’, and to help lead Ford in a better direction. Ford had their shit together better than any American company. They didn’t need any bail out money, and started to right their wrongs before the bottom cell out, unlike Dodge and GM. I think Ford is a good choice. They know what they have to do it and will go the extra mile to make things happen-VaughAn Gittin in Japan for example. Below the years of shit has been many innovations. Ford brought seatbelt toAmerica, they know a thing or two about keeping people strapped in the drivers seat. ---
