Your first obstacle would be explaining to SVT why they should work with a vehicle that Ford doesn't produce here anymore....

I was thinking that they could do a step side sport edition with a version of the ecoboost 4 cyl. Call it a Ranger ST or something

People bought Rangers because they were cheap and reliable and for those reasons only.........mostly the cheap part.
When I bought my 07 there were $4000 rebates and you will never see that with Jap trucks.....even the poor selling Nissan Frontiers.

Kinda sucks, SVT sounds a lot better than "ford performance" don't think it'll hang around long.

Ford doesn't have an RS on the website for sale. They have an ST. Does the RS have it's own website ?

You cant buy it yet here.

It's been "confirmed" & announced that its coming here.

Seems to be a 2016 vs. 2017 model type thing....

"Focus RS European pre-production model shown. Availability for the Focus RS will be announced later this year. "
