I find it hard to believe when he says that they'll sell it in the States but not in Canada. As for a 5 door Focus SVT - I don't see why they'd do that. Especially since there are such low production numbers of even the 3-door. It's not like they're trying to sell a large volume of these cars.
I usually take what I hear in dealer showrooms with a grain of salt. They always seem to be one or two steps behind the news/speculation here on the CEG.
Let's hope the Sales rep was wrong.
