| "The launch of the complete new Focus range, plus the global debut of the high-performance ST model, makes this Paris show not only very exciting for Ford, but also highly significant," Odell said in a statement released by Ford today. U.S. Focus enthusiasts have been waiting nearly a decade for the return of a European-based Focus. When the Focus originally came to the United States, it was based on the European model, but through the years, the American version was cheapened. The news of an ST version was well-received. The muscular Focus ST four-door hatchback, which will feature a special version of the 2-liter four-cylinder Ecoboost engine, will boast about 250 turbocharged horsepower. Few other details were released about the vehicle other than its 2012 arrival date. "This is the mythical unicorn for us," said Ron Myer, publisher of the Focus enthusiast website Focaljet.com, which has more than 250,000 visitors each month. "Everyone drools over the cars they have in Europe, and it's great to see they're bringing them here." |
