Coming as a 2018 model year, this will be the last RS of the current gen Focus. They've added a Quaife limited slip front diff and a few exterior trim changes, with a total of 1,500 units for North America ... interestingly we are getting 500 in Canada, which shows that Ford recognizes our appreciation for smaller practical performance cars that can be enjoyed year-round.

Couple things wrong here.
First, you quoted the STi with WRX power figures.
The STi is 305hp and 290tq
It has less power, but, the STi STARTS at $39,495

And the RS on Fords site says it starts at $48,418.

You're right about the power figures. Sorry about that. It's too early in the morning for me, lol.

I quoted the top tier STi because it's the closest to RS content.

What I'm saying is the RS appears to be very expensive for a Focus, but compared to it's competition, it's priced competitively. And makes quite a bit more power, even with the correct STi figures noted.

Cool little cars. Quick around the track. Admire them for what they are.
But no way can I drive around in a 4-door grocery-getter hatchback. I know fast-hatchbacks are a 'thing', it's just not my thing.

I'll do better than that: I'll let them pass. I've let several past at TMP.

I'm not denying they are amazing cars. I'm just not at that stage in my life where I need a family car :P
