No I didn't mean it harshly I just meant you asked a fair question, got the answer... which as far as I can remember is right... and then pretty much argued it

Yes mate, I'm pretty sure RS stood for Rallye Sport :)

Actually, ST originally stood for Super Touring when the badge was first brought out on the ST24 back in the late '90s, and was marketed in relation to the BTCC Mondeos. Nowadays it stands for very little. :wink:
