Didn't notice before but yes, that interior is the same as my 08 MR.

 

If it does come to the US, it will no doubt be watered down and cost a lot of money.

 

Big mistake by not to make the EVo any more ....the RS is free to pump out between 325 and 350 hp. The higher figure is more likely

 

The RS, coming to the US since 2005...

 

Can someone explain to me why does the Special Edition Evo X for 2015 has a 2008 interior?

 

It's a one-off car made for show purposes that isn't a real edition intended for production?

 

how is the 2008 interior different from 09-14?

 

It's different big time. I'm not going to go into it. Not worth my time to be honest. Google it.

 

Looks like the latest RS may even be AWD! Is it a coincidence as one awd beast sunsets, another rises?

 

might have to switch over to a RS when it comes out. especially if itll have around 320-350hp, and awd. sounds like a great and pure enthusiast car, that will do great on the track. doesnt look too bad either

 

No time to explain just a few of the differences ?

From the article - According to latest indications, the third-generation Focus RS is again likely to be front-wheel drive.

Fail.

 

Again, it's been coming stateside since 2005. Who knows what it will be, what it will look like, what specs it will have, anything really. That is such a small market car for Ford that things change daily when it comes to concrete facts about it.

 

lol for real. The differences are this:

1) multi-color center display in the guage cluste, instead of the flat orange of the '08s.
2) cup holder cover
3) some have a cover over the opening where the cigarette lighter and aux input are
4) slightly different models of the navigation and higher wattage amplifyer for the speakers.
5)... wait, there is no 5, that's it.

The car interior hasn't changed from '08 to present. At least not anyway that anyone should really care. (oh, except for the craptastic seats in the '15 model year).
