Good to see you all rising to the defence of the ST.

The newer ST models are good cars. The new Focus ST is a fantastic car.

If you seriously think the ST range is anything other than the modern XR though you are sadly deluded

Yes, the RS is a thing of the past if by that you mean models with a long and proud history.

Ford will use the RS badge again but it is rightly waiting for the right model to put it on.
