Yeah, it's a ford that looks like an "iroc!" Why are their products in Europe far more modern than in the U.S.? Henry Ford himself must be spinning in his grave. Where's the U.S. Mondeo from the last James Bond film, Casino Royal? It's so ironic.

No, still just fwd but it has a Quaife LSD
They've been doing that for years... Ford NA sucsk balls, but Ford in EU is niiiice...
Take for instance the old Merkurs/Cosworths...:biggrin:
Although I read something a few months talking about how Ford was starting to clue into this fact and was planning to bring several Euro models to NA...including the new Festiva, Focus, and possible the Mondeo(probably labeled as a Taurus or something). :thumbsup:

wonder if this has anything to do with GM bringing us some of the better Opels recently

The new Motor Trend says a big NO to the EU Focus coming to the states. It would cost way too much. Bummer. Reminds me a little of the old RS200's.

My best mate has the focus st wrc 525 and normally has 225bhp but with dreamscience chip and pro alloy intercooler, its running at 285bhp. It kicks my GTI's ass.(not good) These cars are made for tuning!
But come on, the MKV GTI is a different class!(inside)
He know has the RS on order. We are in Spain.
The new RS is going back to the cosworth routs!
I love both of them but still there aint know hiding your a boy racer at heart buying this motor.
His car is the same as this but removed the crappy flag just left "WRC"
"525" on.
525= 5 cylinder, 2.5 liter

I drove a Focus ST in Ireland before I came to the US and fell in love right away. The 5 pot warble is delicious, seriously. Once the turbo is hot, it pops and bangs like a rally car on over run. Its plain naughty, and thats with factory tuning.
If this car was sold in NA I would have one as well as the GTI
