Road & Track reports Focus Cosworth coming to US
Not sure if this has been posted before, but found this at http://www.i-club.com/forums/showthr...hreadid=22842.
Hey All!
The Road & Track issue with the Enzo Ferrari on the cover has been out for several weeks now but I just picked up a copy and was pretty shocked at what I saw.
I guess Ford (probably their SVT division) is getting set to give the STI and the Evo some serious competition. They're bringing the Cosworth here which is basically this:
A Ford Focus
300+ hp (should be around 325 or more)
6 speed transmission
AWD
Body cladding
Sport suspension, wheels, etc
And....it will be priced several thousand $ more than the STI. It looks like the rally wars for us comsumers is off to a great start! But, the sad part for me is is although I bought an STI and love it, I've always loved the way a rally ready Ford Focus hatchback looks. Guess I love them big 'ol hatchback butts! lol
Oh well....I guess I'll never be truly happy with any car as long as new cool models keep coming out like they have the past few years.
Any opinions on this new Focus on Roids?

All these reliability talk. I'm pretty sure it'll be just as reliable as the STi or the EVO. At least in term of powertrain and drivetrain. It is designed by Cosworth after all, it's not just any ford. Interior will probably me very simple since people who buy these cars doesn't care too much about interior.
