'Focus RS' looks for Fiesta

Ford has unveiled three new styling packages for the US-spec Ford Fiesta, including one that takes its inspiration from the outgoing Focus RS.
The new packages – two inside and one for the exterior – have been created to drive sales and offer customers greater personalisation options.
Ford says the Sport Pack takes its cues from the European Focus RS, with ‘Tuxedo’ black wing-mirror covers, grille surround, and boot-mounted spoiler. Also on the list are 16-inch polished alloys, tinted headlights and revised manual transmission, which uses a shorter final drive ratio for improved performance, compared with the standard version.
On the inside, the two interior packs - available on SEL and SES models – feature a two-tone interior in either red or white and includes colour-contrasted leather seats, coloured dash and door panels, colour-coded leather steering wheel and black leather gearlever.

Eh. Until the Fiesta has an AWD option- I'm not considering it.

The Fiesta in the WRC does. In regards to USA production based cars, the Mini Countryman is similar in size and in AWD.

Yeah, but WRC Fiesta shares nothing with a production Fiesta other than body lines.

Remember, the current Fiesta wasn't initially designed for the US regs and the localization process went at breakneck speed. I'd say the mid-life update should be pretty good.
