Anyone seen it at the autoshow?
Looking at the US website it should start around $21K 2.5L Turbo 6 speed manual, even though FWD, it looks like a very nice car for the price.

Man if that was RWD it’d be great! Looks like a sporty little hatch.

Yeah, I didn’t say it was perfect, but I think they will be pretty competitive.

A Chassis Engineer was test driving one last month here in Phoenix. I talked to him at a stop light. He had the NA FWD version. Car looked cool. He told me that he was going to have the turbo version the next night, but I didn’t see him again.
I told him that I wished ford would bring over the turbo AWD focus and he said everybody else wishes that too.
