ack, that was the one I was thinking of. yeah, why we don’t get that is beyond me. 80% of the mechanicals are US certified, ford could sneeze out the $3M or whatever to certifiy/emissions qual everything else and bring a legit sport compact over. haven’t they been watching acura/honda/toyota/scion, not to mention dodge and chevy? the focus st that we have is a joke compared to an RSX-S or an SRT-4. the decision to move SVT upscale was made under colletti, and he’s gone. bring back the budget muscle, I miss the SVT focus/contours.
or maybe they just want to let the mazdaspeed 3 eat marketshare? :shrug:
