[badassgremlin]

i just today saw a focus rs with manufacturer plates in michigan today so incase anyone wabts to have one in america i think they may be bringin them but ya never know, i live in michigan so i see all sorts of unusual cars and no, i am sure it was an Rs i was right behind it and then i passed it to get a look at the front and it said RS in big letters so im not mistaken

i think its a one off, a bunch of people have spotted it. Were not getting it, but hopefully another turbo maybe awd based on the new 2.3 engine will be in the works....(i hope i hope i hope)

I see a lot of Integra's with Type R on them here in PA, are they Type R's?
No?
Did somebody buy the badges and stick them on their car?
Yes

You can get an RS body kit for a ZX3 and you can buy the badges and decals, the guy was probably not interested because it wasn't an RS.

BTW, my Dad actually drove a Focus RS at the Ford test track in South Africa last week, he says the acceleration is scary and the handling supurb (if I was over there I would have been able to drive it too - we're friends with the plant manager of Ford Engine Plant in Port Elizabeth).

this had manufacturer plates on it AND it wan't just a body kit it had the auburn colored turn signals

Manufacturer or dealer plates?

It could be a one off dealer import, but like Z33 said, we ain't getting them in America.

Here's another tell-tale whether it's for real, did it have the European style projector headlamps?

This is about the 10th sighting i have read about from the michigan area, and i think someone proved it to be true.

carry a camera with you

I apologise for doubting you, since it would seem everything indicates you are indeed dead on in saying this RS is there....now lets go hunt this one down

BTW, you can buy RS tail lights on the after-market
