Default WOW! sweet...

this is just one more example of how we never get the right cars in the U.S.
(color + rice features suck - but the car is mechanically unbelivable)

It boggles my mind why Ford, an American company, gives the rest of the world the cooler cars. Europe has the Focus ST, and Fiesta, Australia has the Falcon.

My friend has a Focus SVT and its a pretty nice car, seats are incredibly comfortable, and its pretty quick. But not ST quick...

Focus RS are cool but still FWD....Just don't like driving plowing monsters. You tend to see more Mondeo's than Focus as they offer more practicality in there Diesel tourings than Focus.

IDK what the disconnect is between domestic Ford engineering and the international product crew. When was the last time you heard engineering prowess touted here? I'm sick of reading articles about foreign companies kicking out butts in automotive technology.

That said, nice find Marko! thx 4 posting!
