      Compromise bteween the two would be nice.

      That nice big front air scoop on the top one was nice (not body colour, looks to STD) and the toned down foglamps look good, but those wheels, just look wrong. Undecided whether a bonnet vent would be good or not.

      Surely Top Gear have got the wrong pic, as surely it won't be a 4–door?

        The ST 4 doors seem quite popular and the old saphs sold so if there is a market i can see there being a 4 door
        why leave a big gap for VW to fill eh

        Looks nice though not for me (the green is cool )

          Have a 5 door ST myself as it is a more practicable car when you have a youngish family

            ST maybe, but the so-called Ultimate Focus has to be a 2–door, the lines are better for one thing, and it's supposed to be a "road-going" WRC Focus

                I wouldn't get rid of a mk1/mk2 escort,to get the new focus RS,but i like the look of the new RS and i think it will be a very good car to drive if ford get it right

                And i dont think they will go down in price in a few years time,look at the first focus RS,very hard to find a decent one now and if you do,it will be worth a bit,so i would keep hold of a new focus RS,if you were pleased with it !!!

                    Yeah, I like it Brian....it could persuade me to sell the Mk 2....but I'd still have a sizeable chunk of ££££ to find!

                    Better keep on with the Lottery!

                      Like I say, you're selling your RS to give the proceeds directly to Mr Brown.

                      Good luck with the Lottery, don't want a finance advisor do you

                        I can't see the Depreciation on one of these mirroring mainstream models....as someone said earlier..original Focus RS wasn't bad on that score....Escort Cosworth similar??....

                        Some interesting comments anyway..cheers guys!

                          Anyone that would sell a Classic Mark 1 or Mark 2 Escort to buy a modern RS must be out of their mind.......

                              i think its a great looking car. I hope when its unveiled its as aggressive as the early pics suggest, the green pics that is. The wheels DO need to be bigger and wider than the ST. The seats need to be superior to the ST and the engine needs to have more grunt. A car worthy of the RS margue...... I hope so. Will be going to the show to see the car this July, Could really be tempted. Straight into concourse Nice clean seat runners... just like Hallys
