Meanwhile back at Ford:

Taurus ----> SHO.

Fusion ----> SVT version coming.

Focus -----> Two (yes TWO) performance versions coming. ST and bad boy RS.

Fiesta -----> ST performance version coming.

Plus, they'll be good looking too. http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/foc...allery/photos/

Lets hope the Malibu gets a 6 speed manual option to go along with one of the turbo 4's.

Isn't the Aveo RS getting a 1.4L turbo engine?

That is bad ***. I really like the Fiesta, too bad it is too small for me (6'0"). Focus is the smallest car I would buy.

Change "True duels" to "True duals" in your sig please. That's one of my pet peeves.

I knew something looked off about that, like I'd see some of it before.

.
At least the Aveo might have the potential of fun. **That is** if they can hotrod it's 1.4 T to at least 170 hp and then go through it's chassis as thoroughly as Ford will for the Fiesta ST turbo.

Yeah it will be quite the performance fiesta over at Ford with all those various performance models. Meanwhile, GM won't have anything to bring to the party.

The emoticon is really because of the mental image of a sporty-car shindig from south of the border... not because GM won't offer anything comparable.
