Nope, nobody in the US would want a 250 hp hatchback, definately not, no way...
Yet another cool car I'll never see.

Oh man that Focus RS is so damn cool. If they sold it in the US, I would have seriously considered it. People would be saying "SRT what?" I haven't heard anything about the Alpha.

haha, 247hp and FWD - even honda can't design a FWDer that can accommodate such power without massive torque steer and understeer. which makes the srt-4 neon/s2k comparison that much more funny 
alfa is a great company (their brera comcept is gorgeous), their 147 gta has the looks, but i'd opt for the 156 gta
