Mine should be out on Saturday. Like Levi, I am counting on the rain to wash the roads. But we've been left with terrible potholes so I'm not going to go crazy driving it on the street.

Ditto, I'll probably be at the DMV Saturday morning. I don't think I'll be doing a ton of driving though. We've had quite a few nice days in a row and I've seen ZERO DOT crews working on the potholes.

The end has begun: Ford Sedans are Dead in North America
"Although the Mustang remains alive, this move also means a major overhaul for Ford performance cars. The Fiesta ST, Focus ST, Focus RS, Fusion Sport, and Taurus SHO in their current forms are all on death row"

I read that today. Feels like the end times for sure

Yeah... it’s a shame, because the ST and RS cars are pretty great. My daily driver is a 15 Focus ST, and it’s been fantastic. It’s dead reliable, practical, fairly quick, and handles better than any wrong-wheel-drive car has any right to. I figured the new one would be at the top of my list when it came time to replace mine in a few years.
I guess that really only leaves the GTI or Golf R as options for me, now that the FoST/FoRS are dead, and Subaru killed the WRX hatch a few years ago.

Civic Sport is a hatch and selling rather well I’d imagine.
Type R is a hatch too
Levi is right IMO - Toyota is actually making a hatch version of the new Corolla and the best thing is that it will come with a manual trans. Also Mazda has had a hatch version of the 3. Luckily Honda will continue to make some cars like the Si and Type R MT only.
And while the FoST and FiST were great cars, I wonder how their base versions stacked up against the competition.
