Looks like it will worry a few AWD performance cars, this ones going to be a good un, probably the best handling hot hatch out there - they will have to test this against cars in another class i.e. AWD's and not against other luke warm hatches

Im all for this and agree with the way they are making it

I just dont know about these.
I'd love all that technical stuff, engine, drivetrain etc in a sportier looking car - something like a Ford Racing Puma.

Yes, I know they're 'old' now but this just looks like a Focus in an expensive bodykit to me, the outrageous colour seems to emphasise this even more.
The kind of thing an imaginative, rich kid would do to his new Focus in order to hang out with the McDonald's massive.

I really hope its a great car. All the write-ups have been so good and positive it'll be a shame if its a 'miss'.
As with all new stuff I'm sure it'll grow on me once I've seen a few about but for the time being, the old-style ST170 remains my 'fave' focus.
