Edit It has been pointed out that I latched onto the color and shape of the grill that is generally on the sportier Ford Foci and forgot about the 2012 base model. I hate when people delete comments and leave a graveyard of broken context so I'm leaving it up but I was wrong on what the blue car is.
Interesting, the blue car is clearly a ‘09 Ford Focus RS but it appears to be in Nitrous Blue, a color only available on the ‘16-‘18 Focus RS. Seems very specific.
Wow I wish I was as talented as you, except in a real marketable skills.
Shit, do we have a murderedbywords community here yet?

I mean, I have highly marketable skills. I also just own a ‘17 RS in that color so it just stood out.
Boy, I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
Not a blunder, just something very specific. I’ve seen mk3 RSs repainted to the mk2 green. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if someone did a mk2 in mk3 blue. It’s an enthusiast only detail that wouldn’t normally happen by accident so I’m wondering what the reference for the drawing was from.
Uh, BBC? Yeah, this guy right here can be your James May fill in on new Top Gear.
I guess I'm just so used to seeing STs and RSs over base models I go looking for them everywhere. The color, which could just have been an artificial shift during the drawing or sharing process, changed the hue to really match the RS color making me go instantly to the sportier line.
