Hey there, found this on a ford website, click on the focus microflash link for a great tour of the new Focus ST.....

Which by the way.....

I drove last week, and its a fantastic car, it will be my next purchase

www.ford.co.uk

The ST in England/Ireland is completly different than the one we have here in the US. Our ST is pretty much just a body kit, with a little better suspension and a little bit of an upgrade on the motor. IIRC, the ST overseas is more powerful than the SVT we had in the US?

yes, the one overseas comes with the turbocharged volvo inline 5 iirc.

Is it just me or does that electric orange looking a good bit like the mazda spicy orange?

I hate you and your Euro Focus ST!

Not really, I am just jealous.

Meh... I'd rather have the Si.

I think the ST wins bro! If all else equal, the ST's useable torque wins...
