Here's what my next car is going to look like:

Can't wait for it to hit the market!

Is that Golf blue? If it came in Gulf blue by mistake would that be ok?

Is there an estimated price yet? Wonder if they'd take 'A' plan on one of those...

WAG on the price - $35K, about where the STi is. What I'd really love to know is when it will arrive here. I may be delusional, but I'm hoping for September.

If I was the kind of guy who might buy an AWD turbo hoonmobile, this would be it

Your move, Subaru, Mitsubishi threw in the towel.

I'd order it in "WRC we haven't put the livery on it yet" white.
These are cool cars.

To the OP: +1

I will take whatever colour I can find when I buy a used one in about 5 years. But I like that blue!!!

That thing deserves paint that's flat black with skulls.

Really like the current focus and fiesta st. Have purposely been avoiding driving them for this reason.

I love it. I've been watching the development of this for the last year or so. I'll be in the market about spring next year, and at around 35k its a fair price for what you get, and I could swing it. I have huge want for this car. The question is, when the time comes....am I really willing to lay down 35k on a car? All rational thought tells me to continue to buy and drive cheap, paid for cars. 35k can certainly be put to more responsible uses. But then, tinkering with cars, and driving is what I enjoy doing in my free time, surely there should be leeway for irresponsible spending? These things keep me up at night.

My son has a Focus ST in red. Pretty car and fun to drive. I'll bet this one could get you in trouble.

Same color the gt was shown in?

I thought they said the color wasn't going to be available

Found it.

Liquid blue (if that's the color in your pic) not available.

Yeah if you look closely at that paint, it's pretty complicated and would be expensive...I'm betting it's a mix of chrome and pearlescent paints.

Cool car. I just don't think it's going to be $35K. Hope so, just don't think so. More like $40-$45K. Hope I am wrong.

That's BMW matte blue, which is indistinguishable from Plasti-Dip matte blue at greater than 20ft

I hope you are too. At $45k I'd buy an M235i

Speaking of car color. I was in my truck making a right turn on to a road and did a double take. A Mazda 3 was coming that was dark grey / black and covered in road salt. It blended into the road so well that it was all be invisible when glancing to the left to see if traffic was coming. Scared me for a second as I had to do a double take. They were going slow so no harm no foul. My choice in car colors is always something that does not blend in with snow or the road so white and medium to dark greys are out. Get either of these dirty and they disappear in to the background of the road or snow banks

Spotted one on the road last Wednesday morning about 7:45. He was going north on 23 north of Ann Arbor. I was going south and timing and traffic prevented a picture. The brief glimpse looked very very good.
