File these spy shots under “another awesome American car in Europe Americans won’t get”.

Frustration! It’s hard for us to feel sorry for Ford and their mountainous financial avalanche when we see a car like the Focus RS roaming elsewhere but America. Some of us would chop off our pinky with a butcher knife for the RS, especially now in its second generation and 300hp.

Now obviously this isn’t the end all answer to Ford’s woes, but a car like this would no doubt make an enormous impact. Take the PlayStation generation cars: the Evo and WRX (STi), neither was sold here and as soon as they hit our shores, became must-haves for tens of thousands of enthusiasts. Bold moves? Yeah, bring the RS here!
