which one?

 

Second one isn't a Focus. (but you know that)

 

They're both good looking cars. Is that escort awd?

 

oh, i'd take the Cosworth. no contest.

 

yes, just find this picture and , it seems two radically different approach .

If I would have to pick now , I would have a hard time. I love the new one , and seems very promising, But the Escort is just have a sweet spot in my heart. I had one in white a bit over a year. I truly loved it.

The old is basically fully mechanical which makes it a bit closer to my driving style.
Cant wait to see, how the new one will drive.

Anyhow, I love the radical no compromise body style in the old one, and I have to say that is a downer so far for me with a new very average looking (compere to the rest of these type of cars) Body style.

I heard the USA version doesn't even have a hard shell Recaro option? I wonder if that is true.

 

Yes.

Very cool car. Had a buddy here that imported one years back.

 

You are correct. It comes with the same Recaros that the Fiesta ST and Focus ST get, just with different materials.

 

yep , Escort Cosworth RS 2.O L turbo AWD full mechanical

Can't really put airbags in a hardshell seat...lol

 

Those are real nice seats, but I don't get why they wont let to upgrade to the hard shell one.
Maybe they saving for a wide body version. In my dreams lol

 

Escort RS curb weight 1,275–1,320 kg (2,811–2,910 lb) nuff said.

 

They have airbags. Same seats (Recaro Sportster)as 370z/Juke/Sentra Nismo:

 

Hmm. When I think hard shell, I think sparco Evo. A fiberglass bucket with some foam...

 

I don't think any current production car has seats without airbags in the USA. Even the Porsche GT3/GT4 etc race buckets have airbags:

 

Very easy sir COSSIE!!!!!
