I think this comparison is just a classic example of taking an average car making it fun a viable to nip at the heels of something known and respected like an e46. Will it have the legacy of the e46...no never.
I seem to remember the Sierra Cosworth giving the legendary E30 a run for it's money in sallon car racing back in the day and there are plenty of "legendary" fords in Europe, Escort RS1800, RS2000, Twin Cam, Lotus Cortina, RS200, the list goes on, They just never make it Stateside. Every Ford made in Europe for the last 20 years wins every group test they're in because they are an amazing driving machine, even the small/diesel engined ones.

We've had them for years, The states are just beginning to benefit from that development now with the 'World Cars' they're making now.

Hell they don't even rust anymore which is more than can be said for the E46!
