315 Horse Ford Focus RS to be sold in U.S.

Alright my 2 cents. All you guys in here saying that domestic keeps the money here, please save it. It is a VERY well known fact that the "other big 3" employ more american citizens than the big 3. Your argument about keeping money here is void and invalid. Money spending starts with the american citizens, so employing american citizens, and in turn them spending money in our borders, is keeping money here. Not some global company to where you, the american citizen, will NEVER see that money.

So again, please save it.

How about this- Buying a Ford F-series, Chevy Malibu, Buick Lacrosse, Ram Trucks, Dodge Viper, John Deere farm implement, or Caterpillar implement helps keep ME, personally, employed.

Thank you.

It won't be my fault if someone sends your job overseas. That has been proven, when they first started doing it. They could have record sales, but if it saves them money and some one else will do it cheaper, than guess what, they're going to get it. Blame the bean counters in big corps, not the people buying.

Oh and I might add, this is coming from a person that doesn't have a single "foreign" car in his stable. And I have 5 cars

Chrysler used to make a lot more stuff here until mercedes raped them and sold everything to line their pockets (Huntsville plant that made electronics).

Time to sell that Chevy and buy a Fiat with one of those much stronger Hemi Engines. Support America.

Hey this Chevy has 140k on it and still runs high reliable 14's and does whatever I want it to do. I'll pass lol

My 10 second "American Iron" Z 28 was built in Canada...I guess by American they mean N America! On a side note...my 96 Geo Metro was also built there as were a ton of mini-vans.

Ummmmm....Livernois has a Ecoboost 4 banger Mustang running in the 11s....I expect the RS to be too heavy compared to our old school cars and they should get mid 11s out of it. Weird, my 99 Z28 is the same wt as our Prius!

Some of those F bodies were tanks. ~4000lb

My Nissan was Hecho en Mexico, which is no different than any current US nameplate small hatchback I can think of. My Escort was made in Wayne Michigan, and my Voyager in Windsor Ontario.

My excuse for the Nissan, is that if FCA had got their thumb out of their arse and got a PandaII or derived platform mini Jeep into the dealerships, then maybe I would have been there instead of the Nissan dealer. They've only been teasing that possibility for 5 years.

Supporting the home team is all well and good, but if the game is say, hockey, and they turn up dressed for water polo, then maybe you're better off rooting for a team that's actually playing the right game.

My regular daily driver is a 2012 Focus and I love it, a great car. I salivated over the RS when I received my "My Ford" magazine last week. I would like to have one but I am retired and on fixed income and can't afford the payment. I'm not whining, just sayin! Practically speaking it wouldn't make much sense to have a high powered daily driver AND a high powered Turbo-Mopar, I would be certain to come down with a case of the tickets! HAHAHAH

Maybe we get allll the neat stuff in a year or two...

Does chrysler still spec 409 for exhaust or have they cheapened out even more now ?
