Just as an aside on a similar theme...

The ever reliable(!) Auto Express are claiming that there will be a Mk3 Focus RS and it will come in 2012, apparently with a 2.0l engine again to make it more economical, with the same fwd system as the mk2, and with a bigger bhp than the mk2:

It would be nice to think that the current Focus RS isn't the last RS, but if there is there's no way in the world that it would be as soon as 2012. Still, it's nice to be able to start the whole will they/won't they ever produce another RS debate once again!
