Just a heads up. I just got back from the LA autoshow where they introduced the new 2005 Focus ST. As you might know the SVT Focus is going away at the end of 2004 and to offset the loss of this product they are going to offer the new Focus "ST".

The focus "ST" is a 4 door sedan.....Here is what I know.

151 HP 2.3 PZEV engine
Upgraded suspension (mostly carry over from SVT)
16" wheels with 205/50 16 tires (Not sure of the width but 205 makes me think at least 6.5&quot

April build - June/July delivery

If this car slips into HS it could give the MINI a run for it's money. Initially the car will only be offered in a 4 door sedan but I assume they'll offer a similar package in the ZX3 and ZX5 later on.
