The Neon was sold here along side the Voyager, but unlike the Voyager, it was a total sales flop. Its a cheap car, built and designed on a budget by people who dont really car about small cars, they would be rather be designing Vipers and Voyagers.
In the US where you have a very limited selection of genuine small performance cars then the SRT is surly a great bargin, but out side of the US it shows its age, and brute force approach to performance.
The Focus is a much much more sophisticated car. Remember that real life roads are not straight lines, and they are not totaly smooth autocross course's.

I'm with you here Moppie- but Colin drives for a Certain French maker now so
Although last I hear the Voyager was losing serious ground to the Carnival, Oddysey, Previa and Secnic (Though it's not a proper MPV) back in the motherland.
The Focus without doubt has the most sophistication, the Neon has been around in one form or another since 1995 to the best of my knowlege- and Chrysler are flogging them off to College students who think they are are "cute" and the US is it's sole market- the Focus is a European car that ended up in the States- and that sounds a lot better on the ears
- NOBODY does compacts better than the Europeans (The Mazda2 and Honda Jazz come close though)
Viper vs Stang??? Viper- without a doubt- torquier, brawnier and oh so in-your-face- I'm dying for a drive of the latest one
