hmm, yes they should have an awd option. Improved linear steering... is that basically saying it will drive in a straight line better? or is that the linear tire range that they are expecting improved performance?

If the folks in Europe got a chance to see and drive the US version of the Focus, they'd die of laughter.
The Euro Focus RS is one mean looking little monster. LOVE IT!

There is a couple of fords they could have had here in the states like the Falcon in Australia and that would have sold better than the Taurus.

Man, how are the front wheels supposed to handle tons of cornering force and 300 hp? Let's hope it handles nice and it doesn't understeer like crazy

Apparently a technology called RevoKnuckle will make the FWD work as well as AWD.

RevoKnuckle, lol, what is it supposed to do? From 200bhp on you need rear or AWD. The front wheels simply cannot handle both, the acceleration an the steering-forces. That's a physical law, that cant be overcome - not even by knuckles :-) Anyway, I like the design a lot. Looking forward to see the RS in competition on track with the new Golf Mk 6 R-32!

FWD can't handle more than 200bhp properly, have a look at the track-tests with the astra opc :-)
Check out what AWD can do: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=7ITlbw97TSg
