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... __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 08-06-2008, 03:43 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Globally Posts: 1,162 | 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. | | | 08-06-2008, 03:43 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 | 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! __________________ My Former Rides 1999 318ti Alpine White, Cali Roof, Dinan goodies 1996 318ti Hellrot California Edition | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
