It'll be interesting to see some performance specs. I don't anticipate Focus RS levels, but should still be pretty good for a hot hatch that might be at least $5000 cheaper MSRP.
In related news, had my Focus at the dealer for tranny work, and they have a red RS in the showroom. $63 holy fuck thousand dollars.
I thought I would warm up to the 3-door concept, and I haven't. Either two, or four.
Also, E-LSD? :banghead:
Damn, beat me to it. Reviews of the Elantra GT N from abroad looked positive. Strangely this looks to weigh about the same despite being smaller. Looking forward to seeing it in a dad approved color.

It's not the fake brake shit, it's a mechanical LSD with electronic control. Project leader of this came from BMW ///M, they wouldn't do that.
E-diff is fine if it's a true E-diff (like what BMW, Chevy, or Ferrari use) and not just a TCS/brake-based solution like on base GTIs and Focus STs.
Seems a bit under-powered.

This will be in the 25-28k USD range when it's on showroom floors. Perfectly comparable to the Focus ST and GTI

Compared to....?
Probably the Focus RS comparison in the OP, which .... could be misleading.

My bad. I thought the article mentioned the RS, not the ST as its competitor. ST makes much more sense.
Still looks like a squashed Vibe/Matrix to me!
