um, because nobody in NA would pay $40k for a focus... regardless of what you put in it.

looking at the statistics of sales of the STi and Evolution, there's only a couple thousand such enthusiasts...
is it worth the cost of creating a production line for the possibility of selling maybe 1,300 hi-po cars in today's economy?
Flo has a point, and it's one I've echoed many times, if you want the Focus ST, get the MazdaSpeed3... Ford will never bring the RS over.
