Default New Focus ST....

Does anyone know when this is coming out?

The last thing I read about it was in Autocar and it said September time which is about when my company car is up so I'm seriously thinking about one.

Also if anyone is sure on the final spec or has links to info etc that'd be great...cheers!

I read somewhere that it'll have a Volvo engine but be quicker than the Focus RS, 220+ BHP I think, I could be wrong though!

Thanks mate that's what I'm hoping for but Ford are always changing their minds and putting back release dates so I'm hoping they'll put it out on time!

Ford originally said the end of the year. Be surprised if it was on sale by September.

US site is not the easiest to follow! Plus they're still using the old style Focus until 2006!
