Spot on, they are (well assuming the RS will be ha) both phenomenal vehicles and like I've said it's a great time to live and have these vehicle choices.

I think the Focus RS would make a compelling case against the Mustang GT. I would definitely consider one over a Mustang GT, definitely over a EB Mustang. I would probably rather have even just a Focus ST over an EB Mustang. Not knocking anyone who has one at all, it's a great car but I just...

Hmm, that day could work nicely...

I will actually be very shocked if the RS is FWD.

One of the best replies yet, thanks sir. I think you're right, it'll just come down to how I feel behind the wheel of each. All I know is I've never compared two vehicles like this but it's kinda fun getting perspectives and doing research, even though one of them isn't even in production yet ha.

Yeah I really like the look of this rendering. I just don't know if I'll be able to pass it up if it looks like this. Faster and better handling than the already great ST? I'm in, but damn these mustangs look phenomenal with the 20" wheels. I may just have to buy one and save for the other. Auto...

If I had one gripe with my ST it would be the overall speed. I knew going into it that I wasn't going to be blowing the pants off everything around me but I felt it was very good for my first ever turbo car. I got over the lack of speed with the boost in handling but now I want both, which I...

I keep telling myself I'm not in a rush either ha but the more I research this Stang the more I want to be behind the wheel. I don't know how much longer I can tolerate that damn Chevy Cruze but it is what it is for now. The Camaro changes are intriguing to me as well but I still believe I'll...

I really don't expect this car to be out of this world crazy expensive. I mean it's obviously going to be more than the top model ST but I will be shocked if it touches 40k. Anyway, I don't like speculating much because at this point that's all anyone is doing. Again, I know I'm potentially...

I have looked at this pic often and if it's anything like this it'll make my decision very tough...

Oh thanks, that helps sooo much ha. I probably wouldn't have this much indecision if I hadn't already owned a wonderful car in the ST. I am sure many are shaking their heads at my desire to cross shop these two but they're both a testament to how far we've come with technology and vehicles. I...

Lots of great replies. I'm a few months away financially from making any type of final decision so I still have time for research. An auto show appearance for the RS could make or break my decision to get one. I know what I like but the problem is I think I'm going to like both rides equally...

I made it through one of the worst winters on record last year with all seasons on my ST but I have no idea what to expect from a 435hp RWD car (GT in this case) but winter tires seem to be the consensus. I'm just tired of staying away from sexy V8 cars because of snow. But you're right...

While I respect the Golf, I don't find the styling all that appealing. Mustang GT would look far better to me and even the ST I like more. I'm pretty much only looking at the Mustang and RS.

Ahh I see your point, didn't quite view it that way but kinda makes sense.

I didn't want to start yet another thread about "will the RS be AWD or not," rather just wanted to see how people thought about the two cars. I don't really care one way or the other about AWD but I know I'll like both the RS and GT so either way I'm gonna have a fun choice. But fortunately we...

You have very valid points and similar lines of thinking I've had. I just wonder if the RS will be different enough from the ST as to justify the cost and buying experience. Whereas I KNOW the GT will be very different in every way. I love these Mustangs with the 20" wheels, just gorgeous.

The ST was a very special car but I'm feeling that V8 pulling me in ha

Believe it or not, I'm not much worried about the price of either. The GT I built on Ford's site was just under $40k so I'm sure the RS I'd build wouldn't be much (if any) less than that. It's quite a toss up but the GT is already here and driveable so it's difficult to really come to a...

This would be ideal but as I mentioned, I can only afford one car.
