Anyone have projected production numbers and MSRP?

I think it actually sounds pretty good in that vid. I'd like less of Block's mug and more footage of the car.

I think it sounds good at idle but very blender like under load... but then again so does the EvoX stock. I'm thinking an exhaust or exhaust + test pipe will fix that issue

8K for US market. MSRP looks to be around 37k but there are rumors floating around that base price could be as low as 30k. Although obviously everyone would be surprised about the 30k base price.

I can see mid 40's with Adjusted Market Value. I would never pay such non-sense though

Not sure why people always worry about those little extra dealer stickers.

First, even with the high end coveted Hellcat cars, Dodge did not sell many with those extra mark up stickers.

Know how I know? 2-3 weeks after the first shipments arrived at lots, there were plenty to be had, the market for individuals that can purchase a 70k car is slim, dealers always learn that the hard way.

The Focus will be no different. Dealers will throw that extra mark up on there, trick a few buyers, then they will be right back at competitive pricing within a month or so.

We are not talking about Ferrari's here.

that would be the plan. to wait and find one being dumped off as used would be even better


a friend of mine once bought a new car. even put a deposit on it. he told them if he wasn't there when it was loaded off the truck, the deal was off.
he showed up and waited while they unloaded and detailed the vehicle. he went with them during the test drive. ended up with a non-hooned car with 7miles on it. LOL.
i'd suggest anyone ordering an RS do the same. otherwise you will get a very well broken-in hatch back LOL.
i've seen first-hand what sales people do to performance cars on their way to lunch.

Regardless of the MSRP or asking prices, I would wait a couple years and pick-up a used one in like new condition for far less, so it really doesn't matter.

I mostly ask so I can get an idea as to what I would end up paying for one in a much more realistic scenario.

I hate to say it...

But that's what body kits are for. LOL

But legit ones, like Voltex for our Evos.
