OK, it's not really coming to the US. Yet. But there is hope.

From Autoweek, ( http://www.autoweek.com/cat_content.mv?p...t_code=04033985 ) Nick Scheele says: "We've underplayed SVT. At the end of the day, we (the industry) are selling mostly to people who don't actually like cars. ... I want to get the SVT Focus to all dealers, to make it a cross-country brand of mainstream vehicles, not a sidebar. I want the U.S. to get access to the Ford of Europe cars, like the Focus RS and Focus Cosworth."

Hopefully he can make this happen. This was from a press panel on June 22, so it may be old news, but I searched and didn't see anything about it.
