Much like the Prii purchasers of the late 90s and early 00s, your sacrifice in vehicle purchase has led the way! You are trailblazers!
In the same way that (mostly the second gen) of Prius becoming a legitimate hybrid vehicle (proved through buyers opening their wallet) is leading to a whole new crop of hybrid super cars, hybrid SUVs, all electric cars, etc etc etc.; your sacrifice to buy an early Ford hot hatch has shown Henry's successors that the US really does deserve the RS.
As future RS owners "pwn" you lowly ST owners on the streets and rally circuits, I hope they remember their roots. Instead of flipping you off as they AWD drift past I hope they give you the sort of cordial wave one should for an ol' gramps in his horse drawn cart of a Focus.
So let us all raise our glasses in a toast, TO FOCUS ST OWNERS! Just remember, even though the RS passes you by... you can still whoop my ricer butt any day.

I'm wondering how many FiST and FoST owners (and there seems to be a ton) are having buyer's remorse right now.

breaking news: strange increase in total write off, single car accidents involving Focus ST and Fiesta ST.

I think every person who has bought any car ever that wasn't their exact dream car has buyer's regret.

There is nothing in common mechanically or technologically with the Prius and hybrid supercars.

id love to have an STI but the price just isn't in the cards for me. I'm guessing it's the same for st/rs. I still love my car

No point in wrecking the ST yet, the RS isn't even available for order...

I've never owned a Ford. That may change in the future.

I had/have buyers remorse, but definitely because of the RS.

Ever been car shopping on a $1900 budget and nearly no income? I have no regrets about that purchase. It was even better than I had hoped.

A comment from 3-5 years in the future when Ford releases a newer even more fun thing:

Well for awhile I think the FoSTs main problem was that the FiST existed, now not only does the FiST exist but there is also a FoRS which will undoubtedly be better than the FoST.
But at the end of the day we can all be happy that these Fords exist because they are some seriously kick-ass cars that will push other companies to do great things as well. Hey Japan, I'm looking at you!

Not the point. It proved the idea to the public as well as the manufacturers to continue developing the technology.

I wouldn't have been able to afford one when I bought my ST anyway, so no remorse here. Except that it was totaled. That wasn't fun.

+1 internets. I spent $1000 on a '94 325i with a blown engine and AT, one m50 & MT later for about $600( I did the swap myself) and I have way more car than I could have bought otherwise

Is the RS really going to be produced in any significant volume?
