...but what's that vehicle briefly shown at 0:19 in the video? ...looks something like what a race-prepped prototype Bronco mule might look like? ...looks like no other Ford vehicle I've ever seen. See what you think:

I'd like to know how the RS went over for Ford overall?

First it came in way over the price they originally claimed it would be, then dealers marked them up even more.

We have a Ford store here that has had the same two sitting in their showroom for over 4 months now because it's marked up $7000 :nonono:

They just got a third one in, marked it up and stuck it out on the lot w the other Focus'. :nonono:

:lol:

Couldn't find anything on US sales but in the UK it's been a sell-out. All are units are made in Germany.

"Here in the UK, the initial quota for the RS is already sold out, with waiting lists stretching back up to 14 months and Ford believed to be considering boosting UK allocation by 1,000 units."
