Default 2012 Focus ST






2012 Focus ST on Autoblog




Looks awesome!!!! It has a 2.0L Ecoboost 4cyl that makes 247 hp/266 pound-ft of torque and a six speed manual trans. Now only if it were a 3 door and had all wheel drive

Holy shit, finally. That is so sexy. And agreed on the AWD + 3 door.

But get this... chip that baby and you're looking at an easy 50-60 hp extra and a good 70-90 lb ft more of torque.

BUT... torque steer.

Nice seats.

The rest of the car.. I dunno about. I think the old euro Focus RS looked better.

looks like Porsche seats. Anyway, Ford is drawing my attention with their Mustang V8 and this. Now that CR-Z has disappointed everyone, this will be the new excitement to come.

If it had AWD (like the RS from back in the day) I would buy it in a heartbeat. It would make an awesome grocery getter/DD.

Very slick fuel door integration.

At $20k it will be a steal, $25k it will be competitive and $25k+ it will be too much...

These cars should have come out when I was younger. Right now, it's cool, but I won't be buying.

Wow! I'd buy one.

Agreed on the fuel door, that's brilliant.

I think they may be able to price it right as well, they did with the Mazdaspeed 3.
