2012 Ford Focus ST Reply #2 – September 19, 2010, 08:43:22 PM Wow, 247 HP, that's pretty impressive. I'm sure it'll see the low 30s in MPG as well. All that said, it's really not my style...and it'll probably be near the SHO's price range. Quote Selected

I'd still rather have the new mustang v-6 though. More horsepower and similar fuel economy. Quote Selected

2012 Ford Focus ST Reply #11 – September 21, 2010, 08:15:15 PM Bhazard may have some competition. Fiesta STIf they can get that to handle like a Mini Cooper, it should sell. Well at least to those that can't buy an import. I doubt we will see it though.Big difference between the Mustang and the Focus (besides the obvious drivetrain configuration) is passenger room. My son had to sit "indian style" whenever someone was in the front seat. That back seat is good for infants and backpacks. Somehow that car keeps getting bigger and that rear seating keeps getting smaller. Quote Selected
