Always liked the RS. Glad we can finally get one in North America now. Maybe they will be around $30k used one day which would be a bit more reasonable.

Not sure how long it will take prices to come down, they start at $47000cdn plus taxes. But, 350hp in an AWD 3200lb car is pretty sweet.

Ford is kicking butt with all these performance models, GT350, GT350R, Focus RS, and a new Raptor for the fall. Golden age of muscle cars right from the factory, right here, right now.

Yep, and a newly announced Fusion Sport with 325 hp

2017 Ford Fusion gets 325-hp Sport model with AWD

Missed that one, pretty crazy number, I recall the Marauders had the 300 something hp Mach 1 engine, and the S197 I had was 300 hp, and that was plenty scary. lol Love it that a four door sedan gets AWD and 325hp, could be a classic sleeper. Golden age my friends, years down the road you'll be rocking on the front porch, reminiscing about being able to go into the dealer and order up some serious performance, just like they did back in the late 60's. Then you can curse out the kids driving by playing the loud music and doing a burnout in their Tesla.

Yep, and telling them that the Golden Age of Rock was in 90's with bands like Nirvana and Soundgarden. And let's not forget about fashion, like the craze when kids thought it was cool to wear soothers and parachute pants (which I thought was dumb and still do)
