Coming to the US soon, another choice for pint-size hoonery:

I approve, a little sad though that they're not bringing over the 3 door

Along the same line the ford focus st is going to be bad *** as well. It's a model that's finally coming over from the euro market and is very exciting

 

Does it seam 2 doors are becoming scarse? It seams Ford and Chevy dont make a cheap two door anymore. I 100%of the time will go with a 2 dr version. And i think the only 4 door i would want is a Cherokee SRT-8. So maybe its an insurance thing. or its a bit more expensive to produce and family shoppers stay away from them anyway?

 

The Fiesta ST looks great, as does its Focus counterpart.

 

I saw a Focus ST which is cool. If it isn't a 3 door hatch than I don't want have anything to do with it.

 

and it is FWD not AWD. So pretty dumb.

 

Drive reviews of the new Fiesta ST are coming out, like this recent one:

According to the article: weighs a bit less than a MINI hardtop JCW, similar power specs, was a blast to drive, etc. A new round of hot hatch comparo's are due soon, I'm sure.

 

When are manufacturers going to learn that we want and need these in the US?
