New Ford Focus RS Not Happening At All: Report

It's available as a hatchback and wagon with a choice between manual and automatic gearboxes and gasoline and diesel engines.
A new report states Ford has ruled out the idea of a new Focus RS due to stricter emissions regulations in Europe as well as high development costs.
