Top Gear is better

At any rate if you make the track small enough or narrow enough then a human would beat both of them. But getting back to the point, Ford in Europe has done some very impressive things with the small cars over there that we just haven't been able to get in the States... like anything with Cosworth or even some of the last Foci.

The SVT was just a rebadged ST170.

On that same note, I am regretting getting rid of my SVT for my GTO. The SVT focus was something special around the twisty bits... Sure the GTO is fast ina straight line.. whoopee....

I read somewhere that car would price out to be around $40K here in the states. It's a great car, but who would pay $40 big ones for a Focus?
