No word yet but id guess 6 months+. We already have 4 in our order bank. Also no word on how many Ford will allocate this time around.

I was told the dealership in salmon arm got one but doubt that's true. It was probably straight ordered in if anything

Here is the window sticker for the one at metro




There are 4 on the island and 3 in the lower mainland and a few up north. Alberta already has 8 of them. No salmon arm but its quite funny seeing some of the dealers that got one.

Focus ST's already seem super rare. I guess spotting a RS on the street would be next to impossible with such limited quantities. lol

I have a feeling the Type R is going to be as bad as this, if not worse.

Is the Type R expected to be full production or limited?

i mightve already said this but isn't it 40k us? 50k cad sounds like a deal if no dealer markup.

You could apply that to any vehicle right about now, Canadians are getting much more new vehicle for the dollar than our American counterparts.

IE: My GT4 configuration is 107k CAD vs 96k USD, roughly 17k CAD discount or 15%.

Friend of mine might be out driving an RS this weekend, I'm going to see if he'll let me drive it

Matt Farah has it right. All of the other reviews focused (pun intended) too much on drift mode. Matt gave a good impression of build quality, power delivery, driving dynamics, adaptive dampers, etc.
