![]() Action shot i know, if only they will sit like that from factory. Im still undecided about them at this stage, im worried it will loose its uniqueness with the Duratec I5T gone and turn into a GTi, that said ill still drive one when they arrive

The red actually looks ok. The Peformance Blue is quite ok as well. Still prefer the LV but slowly I think it's starting to grow on me.

I too was a bit iffy on the new look but in the metal is has so much more presence than the outgoing model, all but the RS.

In the specs on the first page it mentions a sedan. I didn't realize they were releasing a ST sedan, as I have not seen any pics.

Rumour has it 45k but we are still unaware of the spec level coming to OZ if its decent spec ie ST2 it should be good.

Being loaded into the system mean that the car 'exists' in the system. So dealers know what the car is.
Not sure about options, i think we will be limited to options hopefully they give us the SEP option.

Good stuff mate, seems the new car is generating some interest. Im not sold yet IMO it looks a little soft compared to LV XR5 and its missing the I5T, but that interior is awesome. Ill drive one when released and make up my mind.

i think the old one looked more aggressive because the base shape is more boxy. personally i really like the new ST, im in no rush to sell my TE but if it does go the ST could possible my new car. Is the times quicker to 100 an better cornering speed from the old focus xr5? also has it been released yet anywhere in the world? im waiting/searching for an online video review.

Dont think the 0-100 times will be much different, new car has more power but has more weight aswell. New car has TVC (Torque vectoring control) cornering might feel better but i dont think it will be much quicker.
Edit- looks to be about the same weight. Hasnt been released anywhere yet, i have seen a short vid filmed at night from inside the car, its not much worth looking at though. Heres a cpl vids for ya, i know they not reviews but still vids. Ill bet my left one the intake doesnt sound like that ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...v=VOfSGMaZ5us#! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Gavv...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=o1ZCZJP1vE0 If you want some more vids search Tanner Foust, Cypress Racing, Focus ST on youtube. As there was a commercial filmed in Florida a few days ago.

The charcoal wheels and red calipers are an option, not sure if we get it though.
