Fifth Gear Test Drives 2009 Focus RS, We're RS Green With Envy

That other British car show, Fifth Gear, has managed to get their grubby mitts on the 2009 Focus RS and toss it at some curvy mountain roads. Not surprisingly, they kinda liked it.

A 2.5 liter turbocharged five cylinder with 300 horsepower, searing green paintjob, Revoknuckles, Recaro buckets, six speed transmission... perhaps the lustiest forbidden fruit in the hot hatch world right now, it's the 2009 Ford Focus RS. We know it reeks of boy-racer looks but we don't care. We just want to pretend to be zipping around marked stages somewhere deep in the WRC season. The only question now is what color?

Now this looks like a promising Ford. Hopefully they don't dumb this thing down, because the most recent Ford Focus I had, had a PEN holder next to the e-brake. seriously a fucking pen holder. Have you ever tried to write with a pen that has been sitting in a car in the sun???? It's like writing with a pointy stick. Imagine there was a meeting where someone said that this was a good idea.

Beast. I'm guessing Euro only, because they have a different focus over there.

I keep a pen in my penholder and find it handy thank you very much. So there.

Word has it that the 'Euro' Focus will arrive in America by 2010.
