Note to Ford: Give Us the Focus RS: “Why should Europe have all the fun?”

<

Seriously, in the grand scheme of all that Ford is doing right (in comparison to the rest of the U.S. carmakers) why can’t they simply bring over the good cars they already make. No, not just the über-rare Focus RS, but the rest of the Foci over in Europe are cars that people might actually want to drive and would give them a nice jump on the future CAFE standards.

    Is this a case similar to Mercedes creating a different brand in the USA (luxury) than Europe (all manner of cars and trucks)? Is Ford trying to be the “sports coupe” brand in Europe and the responsible family guy in the USA?

    I don’t have the powers of the occult to divine Ford’s strategy here or in Europe. I do have to wonder if they haven’t had much of a plan until recently.
