And I liked my Evo RS too.....

But this thread is about a Focus now isn't it.
I have had a long connotation for RS meaning Rally Sport. Heck we can even bring Camaros into this discussion now.

Don't start the RS emblem thing again. RobEvo will post four pages about his OEM stock rally car again.

The fact that they have not announced any Nurburgring times, makes me think it must be much slower around the ring than the 7:50 posted by the new Civic Type R.

Say what you will about Nurburgring times, the free marketing the Civic is getting off their time is priceless.
