Re: Focus ST spy pics.

Link says 2.5 I5. That a purely Euro engine I wonder?
That engine plus a turbo and AWD would probably make for a nasty little EVO/STi/SRT-4/Cobalt fighter.

Ehhh, I just cannot warm up to looks of the Focus AT ALL. That's better for sure, but still terrible imo compared to a Cobalt or something. Not sure I like Ford's styling direction either with the whole headlight scheme that's there an on the upcoming Fusion.

I would much rather have the 2007 Nissan Tiida

Re: Focus ST spy pics.

I wish I could even sort of give a crap about these small hatchback cars. I think it looks good for what it is, but I think the Mazda's look better.

Re: Focus ST spy pics.

Re: Focus ST spy pics.

they still sell it, and Id love to do it. IIRC it was any ford v8 that could be made to fit. the RS8 concept had the 03/04 cobra motor in it, I think

Re: Focus ST spy pics.

Ford's going to bring this out in Europe first and get it out over here before GM responds? The Astra should be over here already as a Chevy or Saturn...

Re: Focus ST spy pics.

You can buy this car now, its at your local Volvo dealer. The C30 will be out soon if you want a 3 door.
