So Troy, not to try to put you on the spot, but what are you looking to provide for those of us that want a performance car, but need some practicality, and have outgrown small cars either in class or by practical need? (And don't want to spend prestige car prices to get it?)
Basically, what do you plan to offer those people who have owned GTI's, Civic Si's, Escort GT/ZX2/ZX3, and are ready to make a step up in the world, but aren't ready for or don't want a BMW?
P.S. I would love to have words with the designer who designed the Focus' awful driving position. Who ever thought it would be comfortable to drive in a desk chair?
Funny, the seating position is one of my buying factors. I've been looking for a car that I can sit and not lay in for a long time. I find the Contour's seating position pretty bad, espescially on long trips. The Only reason I'm not getting the FSVT is IT'S TOO DAMNED EXPENSIVE for a Focus (yes I know it's not just a normal Focus) Troy, when are you guys going to put the damn 3L in that thing? I've seen a V8 RWD conversion, so why not the 3.0?
I liked the rotary recline in my Jetta, and in the Contour, why don't all cars have it? And why don't you guys put the climate control from the Euro Focus in the SVT?
And why did you leave that bottom lip Black on the front facia? I hate that look!
