    350hp, 350lb-ft, awd. this is what subaru should have been doing instead of dumbing down the wrx/sti and throwing in the same motor it's had for the last decade. might have to pick an rs up if i can find a dealer with one in stock, it's a limited production run so it will probably sell for more than msrp.

      I have been watching this since it was debuted last spring (and the rumors before that). I have a Focus ST and I absolutely love it. I can't imagine another 100 HP and the AWD sounds fabulous. I would trade mine in for this in a heartbeat. Let me know if you see any in stock here in Utah.

        Do you know what msrp is?

          i didn't know you had a focus st. if i don't get an rs and the new mazdaspeed3 doesn't get released or sucks, i'll be on the hunt for an st2 or st3.

          starts at $36k i think, but i'm not sure how much you'd need to option it out.

            I have a 2014 ST3. Zero buyer remorse.

            I love that the RS has a computer-controlled drift mode. I can't imagine too many scenarios where I would dare use it. But ... wow.

            Have you seen the Ken Block video on the RS?

                          I have a buddy that is super into the whole rally car thing. Did some driving courses and everything. Totally not my bag, but I understand where he's coming from. He got the STI when it was new and participates in that Rotary Teton Hillclimb.

                            I went to the Phoenix auto show last week. I guess Dodge makes something called a Hellcat model of the Charger. It has something like 700 hp.

                            Lincoln had the best looking models. Their cars were kind of meh.
                            Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                              the hellcats are scary fast. but like the rs, they're hard to find and sell for above msrp.

                                Your co-workers are probably wondering why you are driving your daughter's car everyday.
