I went through the Ford UK website yesterday... you have to go quite far up the list to get as many options as I have on the ZX5 SES.
It also seemed their engines weren't that much more powerful than ours are.
I dunno... the ST aside (and the obvious mechanical differences due to the different platform), we aren't missing THAT much.
As for the ST... I'd consider one in a heartbeat if it was AWD. Otherwise, I'd be quite content to stay exactly where I am in "slow land". :)
It sure doesn't feel that slow.
