Ford Focus ST with Volvo T-5 power plant

I really hope Ford brings this to the US. Sweet looking little ride with Volvo's S/V 40 powerplant putting up 220ps.

Here

I don't understand Ford's reluctance to bring the Euro Foci :p to the states.

Nicer than the SVT Focus, but I would rather have an Escort Cosworth.

I am not really sure Ford is smart enough to do such a thing. One can only hope...

hotpot, in case you didnt know the focus and fiesta have been popular "ricer" tuner cars forever in europe, this is not a new phenomenon and there has been TONS of factory souped up/special edition focus's that you dont know of that have been released in Europe.

Dude I was talking about US ricers. They dont sell Neons in Europe. And they don't sell the Focus RS in the US.
