Dealership has 2 RS here. Both in the low to mid 40's. I couldn't justify spending that much money on a "Focus". Yeah, it isn't a normal one, but it is still a Focus. WRX was an option but the more I look at them, the uglier they get. STi gets ricier every time they change it. VW ownership is great, but tends to get expensive with maintenance and parts are not cheap. Opted for this and so far, minus a few sellers remorse moments, I am pretty happy. Saw a Blaze Yellow Boss 302 last night at the store and immediately got a shot of jealousy because I was already missing the exhaust note on mine.
