Ford offered him a better sponsorship?

European spec Focus is not too bad of a car. Unfortunately the US only gets the crap versions.

don't we always get the crap version? i mean yes some countries did get the 1.8t engine instead of the 2.0t engine on the newer A4s but the original country usually always gets the better version so wtf?

If you want to see how badass the Euro-spec Focus is, look up the RS500. Ford offered Ken a better sponsorship. Period. Ken also doesn't care what car he drives; he just cares about promoting the sport in places where it isn't super-popular, like America.

The RS500 is super bad ***!



Although I'd be fine with the basic RS.

It's a Fiesta. I, as well, miss the Subie.

Anybody else see the episode of Top Gear he was featured in? Absolute badass.

Not bad looking.

Ford has been going crazy trying to promote the Fiesta in the US.
