I see the ST as a competitor for the GTI, Civic SI, and Mazdaspeed3, not the WRX, STI, Evo or Ralliart. To me, they are two seperate classes almost, between the AWD and FWD.

And NOS, they won't be killing the V6 Mustang anytime soon. If anything, you'll be seeing an Ecoboost Mustang replace the V6 as the entry level, and an Ecoboost V6 replace the GT, and then have a Mach1/Boss variant for the V8 crowd.

I'm already thinking that a 2012 ST would be a good replacement for my 2000 SE. Just gotta get the wife on board. Just maybe not in the orange/yellow colour. Sonic Blue maybe... I'd be willing to go low $30,000s for it, but not much more. Keep it under the Mazdaspeed3 (currently $36k), and you've got a deal.
