yeah...I have to agree Dave...Even with the RS marked up by $20K (which does sound a bit extreme for a markup) to $60K there will still be plenty of people with enough disposable income available who will be more than willing to purchase even at that mark up price to get their hands on a new FoRS...
Glad they are circulating their money, good for the economy, I will be more than happy to stick with my FiST.
If I really wanted to build a car that would kill an RS, many ways to go and for far less than $60k which makes me think of the 05 Forester XT I built with JDM and better everything under the hood and drive train, brakes, etc...18x9.5 street and track wheels, 18x10.5 autocross wheels, 1.6 60 ft on a parking lot surface pro solo practice....very quick SM class autocross and I past a full race STI on track.....still a great daily driver, ski car.......28MPG when a bit more more than cruising.....$30k in mods, only parted to stock and sold because I wanted a big step up and started building a World Challenge C6 bodied C5 Z06 full race car.
Not many cars that are bought for far more than the sticker price ever become worth it in the end.
But, for those that buy one for $60k, "it's your thing, do what your gonna do, I can't tell you, who to sock it to".

They have all been doing it for many years now.
Capitalism at it's best.
Remember the dealership is not owned by the manufacturers, they just represent them.
The cars are sold to and then owned by the dealership, therefore they can do what ever they want with them.
Even the manufacturers charge the dealerships different prices based on the volume purchases.

Everything right now is rumor and speculation. People may be putting money down or claiming that they'll spend $60k on it, but once the rubber hits the road we'll start to see the truth. It's very easy to remove a down-payment one you've realized you made a stupid decision.
The RS has always been limited production and usually ends up selling below cost towards the end. How true that is for the Mk3 is yet to be seen but I wouldn't get too hung up on 'confirmed' or 'reliable' sources right now. There are no ordered RS models yet and Ford probably won't open the ordering banks for a few more months.
