I never thought I would EVER jump into this fire. Especially on this matter.
I'm with you Bryan.
The Ford sucks theory is getting old. Just like me.
Don't forget, the market for a 20k car is way bigger than the market of people looking to spend 40k for a hatchback.
Ford makes money on the Focus here. Why? because it's a fleet car and they sell no matter what. Grandma doesn't want a 300hp hatchback. It's just not ideal for Ford to burry production oppertunities on a car that makes them so much money to build one that will go over as well as the Focus SVT. I personally think that they went about the SVT all wrong, we'll all agree that if you plan on releasing a high performance pocket rocket, make it count. Boost it, and for god sakes, make it faster than a Neon. As cool as the SVT was, I think we can all agree it could have been done better. (More like the RS)
That's all I'm going to say... *Zipping up flame suit*
