Ive seen plenty of foci parked out side of 150+ thousand dollar homes. I believe one magazine editor said "at home in any driveway, doesnt look, drive or feel like an economy car"

My only real disparagements is I don't think the SVT Focus, even if it lives up to your expectations is at a high enough level to be worthy of an SVT badge in it's competitive market. SVT should be representing performance that is well above its price, not comparable to those of its price.
Oh yeah, the Cobra is best in class too! :rolleyes: When the SVT focus was unveiled, it WOULD have been best in class, but as I said in another post, SVT waited far too long to release it, while other car makers hit the drawing boards, car shows, and then showrooms during fords proccratination. Expect the next Gen SVT Focus to be packing 200+ hp.
Either way, its hard for me to convince anyone of my point until you have spent quality time in both the CSVT and a top-of-the-line focus such as my S2. Only after that will most people come to see what Focus owners are really talking about.
