Any Ford Focus fans out there? Did I hear correctly that the Focus line is going 100% Euro-spec in the next year or two?
 
Big fan here.



2 focus 2.3's, both 04 hatchbacks. One with a 2.6 stroker kit and the other f2 turbocharged. Fully built engine, at 16 psi makes around 325hp. Very fun little car. GREAT track car and it surprises many a people.



I have heard the news somewhat on that line. although I have doubts still what they will give us. The brits get the focus rs, and the holy one. (Escort Cosworth) But I don't think ford believes that is what the us consumer wants.
 
I own one of these cars but live in Australia, here it is rebadged as an XR5 to coincide with other Australian performance Fords like XR6, XR8 but it is a Euro ST through and through.



I must say its awesome fun to drive, mines grey though which for me is a little bit less obvious than the Electric Orange. Well I hope you guys get to have these cars soon on your market, it will be worth the wait.



Here is a link to a few piccies of my car.

I have an American '05 ST 2.3. It is a good everyday car for me, and fun to drive, but I keep waiting for Ford to let us have some of the European stuff, and it doesn't happen.



Sometimes I wonder if it is Moe, Larry, or Curly who runs the show at Ford.
