nice
I am really liking the orange one at the top of the page. Nice engine too. Too bad we will probably never see them here. The convertible isn't bad either, but looks maybe a little large??

I like the Lambo Murcielago Choptop rims on that orange focus! And the Volvo T5 wow that would be some serious fun!

I think it looks pretty nice, I'm not totally sold on it yet but it's not like it matter because we won't ever see it here in Canada!

It's what the 2005 Focus ST should have been. For some reason, we're getting the sloppy seconds after they took away the SVT Focus.
Guess which Focus I won't buy again until there's a tuner / boosted Focus?
Daily driver 1: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport "S"
33" BFG Mud-Terrain KM2s, lots of Rough Country gear - bumper, 2.5" lift, swaybar disconnects, Superwinch 10,000lb winch, Detroit Locker in rear D44 axle, custom exhaust, K+N filtercharger, Superchips-tuned.
Daily driver 2: 2006 Subaru Legacy GT
COBB Stage 1+ package - AccessPort tuner, COBB intake and airbox. Stage 2 coming shortly - COBB 3" AT stainless DP and race cat, custom 3" Magnaflow-based exhaust and Stage 2 COBB tune.

I'd buy the orange one, it looks pretty good and that engine is awesome.
I drive a 2010 Golf that growls at people when it goes over 3000rpm.

This makes the disappointing 2005 north american Focus facelift even more disappointing.
I wonder if the Volvo 2.5 5-cyl will get put in any of the Mazda 3 models down the road..

Ford has to seriosly do some thinking. With discontinuing the Focus SVT the Focus really wont have anything except a 105whp focus. Does Ford have something planned? and the SVT wasnt much to brag about either. I sure as hell hope there not relying on the Mustang. :S
Its bad enough some of the dealors are trying to claim them as being a sport compact car. LOL LOL LOL RETARDS!
Right now my future is not looking to bright with ford but who knows. They may have something planned in 2006 for us North American guys. You never know.
I like that new 2006 posted above and would really hope its does make its way across.

When me and Jarrod took out the Mazda3 I didnt find much difference. There the same engine as the 2.3L ST's
I wish they would make a 2 door hatch.

I love that orange ! :D
I have to agree I don't think those old foggies at Ford HQ in the USA will ever bring over the MKII's. I'm still kinda disappointed with our MKI face lifted crap. <_<
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

I think that will Ford's permanant stance on the Focus from now on. :angry:

The SVT handed it's intended compition it's ass i.e. Civic SiR & VW GTI.
I'm sure an SVTF with a Vortec or Procharger would handle an SRT4/Cobalt SS/Ion Redline.

I wonder if the turn signal mirrors from the orange one would fit our cars? They "look" like they would but doubt it.
I don't think many people here would be prepaired to pay what those cars would cost if offered here.

A Zetec with a Pro Charger well give you 209 at the wheels. A SVT with a ProCharger would do more then handle. More like OWN! :)
