I'm looking forward to the Fiesta. In fact, I will be changing my GTO for one. I'm just tired of the stupidity in this car:

strut mount bushings are crap from the factory causing excessive tire wear
rear diff mount is a joke
the whole diff is a joke ( won't last more than 30k apparently)..

ughh... last GM I will ever own aside from my 94 T/A which I'm keeping.

It will be the closest thing to an SVT focus I can find in a modern, even lighter and more agile package. Rumor has it they will stick a 2.0 engine in it, that's a 2200-2400 lb car with 150 hp possibly.

The ford zetecs can generate 200+ wheel horsepower N/A with the right parts...

2011 Focus is supposed to be all new and based off the Euro Focus platform. Rumor has it that it will come with a 1.6L Trubo.

Fiesta 5 door looks nice, but if that don't put in a center arm rest that would be a deal breaker for me. I'd rather spend the extra money for a M6 Cruze.
