This is why Ford sucks

So ford finally built a sick ass Focus, for the Europeans at least. Old new's but new reveiw: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=108108#4
Too bad nobody will stand up and dick-slap the staff at ford and say "Hey WTF!?!"
This, unfortunatly, is why the imports own the compact world. They get their product name out there, and they take risks and actually put the product out. When the SVT came out how many ads did you see for in in Super Street, or on the web or even on TV. Every where you look its Si this, Scion that. Even when the Cobalt SS came out it got like 1 comercial, and that was it. Now granted the Cobalt is ugly, but still, same principle.
I liked the Focus when it first came out, hated it when it got the Taurus face lift, and completely fell in love with the Euro.

Man that ST is pretty sweet, maybe i'll have to move to germany just for that reason. It's rediculous that we don't have a sweet ride like that in the US just cus some big wigs are afraid a kick ass focus might take some of the mustangs market...i wonder what it would take to get that ride here...

A boot in some CEO's ass.

it might work... but probably just be very satisfying and a result in a free ride in a cop car:)

ford hs built a lot of cars they never produced or never built in america.

2 door taurus SHO
Supercharged SHO v8
200HP svt Zx2
230Suprecharged ZX2
Contour SVT w/ n2o

there are many more example I can use

LOL even that cute ass little Euro Fiesta is hot. I'd love to have that as my little commuter. Beats a civic hb.

If you want to see some more nasty Fords that aren't coming here take a look at the Aussie Falcon XR8 or XR6 Turbo. Sure it's a midsize sedan, but ohh is it quick.
<http://www.ford.com.au/range/falcon/models/xr8sedan.asp>; AND, they get the XR5 turbo Focus just like Europe. N.America sucks sometimes.

..... N.America sucks sometimes.
Some times.?.. muahhahahahahahahahah. No you can't have the Holden El Camino thing or anything else that GM sells under Holden, you can't have any Fast fords except for the GT-40 that you can watch wealthy people drive, and the mustange that you can watch your wife drive. As far as the cool imports....mmm...naaaaaah, you don't want those. Oh whaaat? You want to turbocharge your car? Suuuuuuuuuure, just as long as is it c.a.r.b legal and can pass our ruthless smog laws. I'll tell you what else we'll do for you, design really cool cars and prototype, show them to you, and never build them, or build to look super lame and under powered.
