Ford turbo awd is a new concept i feel like in fords history. Calling the eco boost a performance car in and by itself don't quite seem to sit right. Its already been mentioned aftermarket bolt on support is not quite the best ....(yet) which is besides the point. I say yet, because maybe it will take off who knows. Any manufacture's vehicle should be the number one sold brand in its own NATION!

You go to Germany bmw are everywhere. But to say it will blow Subaru or similiar brands with YEARS of proven track and street records out the water performance wise that is quite a lofty statement and i hope ford can back it up.

Also actually working next to the ford dealer ship our sister dealership, and actually working ON THE FORDS getting to drive them day in and day out, hearing first hand complaints and experiences ... not some jaded TV commercial shuns me away a little bit. How many of the people ranting how awesome the car is have actually driven one. Owned and maintained, in addition to modded one. There seem to be multiple issues with not only the turbo's themselves but just regular maintenance seems to be full of complaints. What do i know though. I cant even speak clearly.

Anything with a turbo charger is kind of cool...Evo exits Ford RS comes its place PLEASE... lol

I'd DD the RS for sure, I like Ford a lot and considering trading in the evo for it. I think the RS, for me anyway, would replace a turbo 4 AWD daily for sure. Just can't get myself to want a boxer engine but still like subbies plenty.

But for 500whp, now a days, I like bigger displacement for new cars like a 5.0 from ford (or the gt350r mmmmmm) or c7 etc. Maybe even new camaro, looks promising. I have come to realize more cylinders typically makes things easier when trying to make power haha.

oh mah gawd! that gt350r is amazing looking

Ford's sells vehicles across the globe, are they number 1? maybe not but im sure with out looking it up they do quite well. As subaru may be big in rally, Ford has been racing for probably three times as long in many categories of racing.. including rally. I'm not sure anything needs to be mentioned to back it up, the history speaks for itself.

I thought the argument or discussion was its the best car on the market right now? Or line up i should say?

I am saying that I believe that Ford has a great line up of cars and is one of the best brands on the market in my own opinion, because i have driven many of the models from the trucks to suv's and cars and all have been a pretty good experience. Have I owned one personally? No, but would I consider buying one? Yes, in a heartbeat. Actually have been wanting an edge or an explorer for quite some time. I think any manufacturer will have issues - nature of the beast, nobody's perfect.

The RS has been around in other forms and Subaru has a proven track record of part failures.

We only have 25k on our ecoboost, but so far not a hiccup. Decently quick, torquey low end kinda like a turbo diesel, and 35mpg on trips to Fargo
