So it's the same car as a MS3 except it's slower and it's a frowny face instead of a happy face?

Different motor, most likely a lot more potential (well a lot easier to reach that potential), different suspension (probably similar to the RS), so overall, not anything like the ms3, other than its a 5 door hatch.

I forgot you had a boner for the RS, keep dreaming that this car is anything like that one. I'm sure FORD won't let you down. (poor poor Tbot)

Similar platform as the RS, different motor (since they don't own volvo anymore), but their ecoboost motors are pretty kick ***.

And yes, I have a hard on for the RS and would love to have one! But I think I'm moving over to the 2012 Boss 302 Leguna Seca ;)

FU Man! :lol:

And remember the MS3 wins most comparos it's in because of its handling, not just its power. So don't dog the MS3's handling.

As for the motor having more potential, everyone complains about the MS3 not being able to hit 500whp but that much power is fail in a FWD car anyway unless you're roll racing on the highway or running slicks at the track. For normal everyday driving the MS3 is plenty capable of putting down power.

I'm with tbot though, I'm strongly considering getting into a 2011+ Mustang within the next couple of years.
