What I'm puzzling over, with all the "Focus isn't worthy of the SVT badge" talk, is this: What else does Ford have in its U.S. toybox that is?
  • Taurus? Were there ever plans to bring the SHO back? (if anyone can remind us of the reasons for its demise, please do!)
  • Crown Vic? Sorry, if I were of a socio-economic stratum to be looking at a BMW 5-series, I don't think an SVT CV would catch my interest.
  • ZX2? Why are they still selling that, anyway?
  • T-bird? Okay, maybe that has potential, given the stock car seems more tuned towards "cruising," not hitting the twisties. Any noise on this front?
  • Something from Europe? Don't we wish... :rolleyes:
  • What else are we left with besides pickups and SUV's?
Geez, how many people looked at the CSVT when it was first announced and said "Man, no WAY I'll ever drive such a 4-door POS." I'm just glad Ford will still occasionally come out with a niche vehicle that has more than merely cosmetic mods. I hope they sell all the SVTF's they care to make.
