The key to this cars success is going to be the price point. If Ford can keep it around the 25k range it should sell well.

You, sir, need to lay off the narcotics. Anyone can clearly see that the rear of the Dodge reads "SRT4." It is not an SRT8.


Anyway, I like this Focus. I won't be buying one, but it is a pretty decent looking vehicle. to Ford for improving their line-up continuously.

Kind of what I wanted to see from the CR-Z. Hope it sells well!

I think the Civic Si makes a lot more sense as a realistic competitor that you could almost realistically expect to compete with it. Neither the CR-Z (nor the CR-X) was ever about making big power. This car is more powerful than an S2000 with way more torque in a hot-hatch configuration with wrong wheel drive.

Two hundred sixty six pound feet of torque to be exact. The big difference with this car vs the competition is it makes strong power down low in the rpm range. Torque is good!!!

When it quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, and tastes like a duck...

This thing is ugly.

Bring back the SVT

Agreed on magnitude (makes this more of a MazdaSpeed 3 competitor?) but the CR-Z came out just so gutless. The Si doesn't have as much of the swoopy/sporty look to me.
