To the naysayers who say the SVT Focus looks like a POS, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Cliche, I know, but it's true. I for one think the Focus looks great.
As for handling, from what I've read and heard, the SVT Focus should be at least as good in the twisties as the Tour, and just about as fast straightline. Also, I wish the SVT Tour had HALF the quality of the interior finishing the SVT Focus has -- high-quality plastics, two-tone leather seats, etc... Even the lesser versions of the Focus (my parents have an SE sedan) have much nicer plastics and ergonomics than my Tour.
And let's not forget another very important part... as of right now, Ford SVT seems to be bending over backwards to please the SVT Focus customers -- something they
never did for us.
Heck, with all my talking, I've almost convinced myself to sell off the SVT Tour for a Focus when it comes out...
almost...
