I usually don't bump for this kind of thread..
But this car definitely got my attention..

Stupid question though, isn't Ford from USA?
Why didn't they simply release the car already?
It is sad to see this of **** happens.
I thought it is always easier /cheaper /more accessible to get cars from domestic car makers.
Even better all the Focus RS's will be built in Germany. lol

I think that's actually a plus.

Lately EU fords usually better build then domestic if that is still exists.
My family member has a Ford dealership in EU so when i am there i always drive the newest editions. Usually Mondeo or Kuga class.
So when i am in the states i do rent (through my work place) the same cars. Although they do look a like, some reason they do feel better cars overall although many times has a lesser option.
Have to mention, i do love the EU 2 or + 2 liter TDI engines they comes with.

Yes, for example

The evo comes with:
1. A motor
2. Front wheel drive
3. A steering wheel
4. Airbags
5. Headlights

I only got one wrong so obviously I don't have poor vehicle knowledge. Saying Evo 10's come with folding rear seats shows you know little about the car.

Are you still harping on that crap? Get over yourself. I got one item wrong. And it wasn't something major like the drive-train that you are trying to compare it to in your stupid example. Getting folding seats wrong isn't the same as getting the drive-train wrong. LOL!!!!! What a dumb example. This is even more dumb than you saying that if you get 1 item out of 10 wrong, then everything must be wrong (even the ones that were correct). LOL!!! And 1 out of 5 wrong (your example) isn't the same as getting 1 out of 10 wrong (what I did). The more I look at your example, the more dumb it actually sounds.

Little about the car? I owned an EVO X for 5 years. Do you realize how stupid that sounds?

Edmunds lists folding seats for 2011 models, Dealers had folding seats listed as an option. My car was a 2008. Pardon me for believing Edmunds, and a freaking Mitsubishi dealer, for listing something that isn't true. When I read that the car had folding seats, I said "that's a nice improvement". So pardon me for actually thinking that they improved something based on a reputable car web-page (edmunds) and a freaking Mitsubishi dealer. So if that's what you're using to say I don't know anything about the EVO X, a car that I owned for 5 years no less, than that is some serious weak sauce. Come better than that.

It's like your saying "Oh he didn't know about some obscure option that was mistakenly misrepresented as being available on web-pages, on a newer model year car than the one he owned, so therefore he must not know anything about the car he actually owned for 5 years?" Get out of here man. You are funny.

I completely gutted the interior of my car to replace the stereo and this guy is trying to say I don't know anything about the EVO X. Lol

I took apart the dash, center console, door panels, took the seats out, replaced the amp, replaced the door speakers, replaced the subwoofer, added a freaking sound processor.

Me and my buddy also replaced the exhaust, I had the ECU reprogrammed. All the maintenance (oil changes, brake pads, rotors) was done by me.

There's more. We also did the drive-train fluid replacements. This means front/rear and center diffs. Also did the MR SST transmission oil and filter change. What were you saying again?

Lol you said the seats fold down. Did you stop and think, "hmm, then where did they relocate the battery and washer fluid"? I would think with your expert knowledge of the car this would have been the first thing that popped in your head.

I didn't realize that 1/5 isn't the same as 1/10, thank you for the clarification. No wonder I always failed grade school math!
