From the Ep 6 video, that Germany plant produces 370,000 cars per year? Holy cow!

Dearborn Truck produces 1,200 vehicles per day, seven days a week.

I think Ford should spin-off the F series business into a separate entity. :wink

trying to get a RS, After seeing all the Ford performance adds with all vehicles done in the liquid blue, and the RS next to the new GT (hoping to duplicate the same in my garage!), wish new RS would come in the liquid blue! The lighter blue doesn't do it for me!!

First RSs coming of assembly line in Germany. First reviews coming out of UK and Australia quite Good! Have one on order! Something to have fun with until the new GT!....

Ford is having a great year! Focus RS COTY award from Top Gear Magazine for 2016! Called a "game changer"!

Just confirmed my RS is on the ship "Tiger" which is due to arrive in Port Hueneme on May 20 - after a 1-day stop in Baltmore and down through the Panama canal. Can't wait!

Enough is enough. You have to pick, GT350 or RS, one choice only. Which is it??

I can't decide. I'll take both please. (I've been known to order two desserts after dinner.)

Your info is better than mine. Lol.

I'm excited for you. I did a search of dealers the other day and it showed no cars in stock yet. So yours is one of the very first.

Hi Jim!!

Yeah, probably the first batch arriving to the West Coast. But there is a ship - "Grand Legacy" that is due to the East Coast within a couple of days from now. There's at least 20-30 RS's on this ship. I suspect that your Allocation #1 would be on this ship and will beat me by a couple of weeks.

Anyone know the curb weight of the RS?? I looked on Ford and it says TBD.
