While all the press shots I’ve seen of the RS have been in Nitrous Blue, damn does it look sharp in black on black. And I say that as someone who normally doesn’t care for black cars.
It’s those blue calipers. They make an awesome accent.
Sadly, it was locked “for your protection” so I couldn’t sit in it. It’s a shame because I’d be half tempted to go pester my ford dealer about one if I had. Seat comfort and headroom are my only reservations.

The cabin is the same as a Focus ST. Go try one of those and you'll know

I owned one for some time.
But the RS reportedly uses different seats than the recaros in the ST, which were not seats I could live with. (I had an ST1 for that reason)
Additionally, several of the early reviews out of Europe mentioned that the seat was unpleasantly high, but Ford claimed that would be fixed. If normal people think the seat is too high, I can guarantee I would have no hope of even sitting in one.
long story short, if the cabin is the same as my ST1, awesome. But if the seats are the same as the higher trim recaros, or there’s less headroom (I only had a couple inches to spare anyway) then it’s more of a problem.
From just looking in the windows the seats looked to be less ridiculous than the ST, but I’m no good at judging things like that.

I thought the different seats were foreign market only. It might have different base seats

I’ve seen a lot of conflicting information on that. Like I said, it’s a reason to actually sit in one.
