Ill say it again, what the hell motortrend thinks in comparing a tuned FOCUS with an Italian piece of art!!! :?

[Vansquish]

I always knew the RS was a fine looking car....seeing one side-by-side with the Gallardo just confirms it.

For the money, I'd take the Focus, especially since it would be such a sleeper. The Gallardo just doesn't do it for me the way that Lambos of yore did, nor even as much as the new GT does.

I bet if some1 fitted the Koenigsegg doors dodecadrant thingy on a gallardo, evry1 would shut up that it's part audi

[Vansquish]

Um....no. Its interior trimmings (while notably better than those in the Focus) are sterile and teutonic, there isn't an ounce of Italian flair in there. As for the styling, it's derivative...nowhere near as eye-catching as the Miura, Countach or Diablo (the Miura you may note had normal doors as well...so did the Jalpa, Jarama, Espada, Urraco and LM002 for that matter), the Audi-design ethos is too well defined and present for it to be as attractive as it could have been. Where are Italdesign and Bertone when we need them?

Nope, unfortunately, it's FWD, so understeer and tram lining are on the menu

What are you talkin about? It is a RWD Focus. Did you even read the article? Well anyways I thought this was an interesting comparison. I guess not that many people noticed that I posted the actual scans a little while ago.

Those RWD Focus are awsome! I wish Ford would actually produce one themselves. I wonder how good the weight distribution is though :?.
