i personally like this alot, think the agressive styling is good, and i quite like the colour although others will be available.

Performance is rumoured to be 0-60 5.5 secs and limited to 155mph

Yep, thumbs up from me, looks an agressive car and deserves the RS badge. If you look inside the seats are awsome.

Looks mint, I am sure it will be a good car, and people will be modding it for more power within weeks.

BUT even tho they say it has some special stuff to keep it FWD. I dont care. They need to make it DIFFERENT than the other models and make it 4WD.

Boring, heavy and lardy looking. The only thing it has going for it is the lush colour.

Ford ARE broke. Hence i hear quotes like "It's like bringing a knife into a gun fight" and "Ford are cutting corners by relying on the Volvo parts bin for engines and components" etc etc

I could bring more quotes out. I'll await for the release of this and then see how the other contenders blow this totally out of the water :wth:

Megane should show it a thing or two.

It's not that I dislike certian makes btw, it's just going to be a warm car behind all the hot ones.

To be fair, I hate all new cars :lol:

I can't wait for angles to be popular again instead of curves and bubbles and wanting things to look huge and fat :rolleyes:

i'm sorry i have to disagree with the "warm" tag

if it is 5.5 0-60 and 155mph then it will have to be a mighty megane to be up there with it

i personally dont like newer cars, but i like this, styling is bang on, and the colour is mental

but as we know french make better hatches

so lets see what they pull out

a 207 t16? :lol:

and we won;t know until its tested 8-)
