Let just hope it rea... Let just hope it really is worthy of the Ford RS badge as we have not had a 4wd car since the Escort Cosworth,its going to have to be 4wd with 300bhp to compete with the Audi's etc,so unless this is on the cards I hope they won't bother.I just hope they don't go down the half hearted penny pinching F W D route that the company accountants will probably insist on. |
