i dont know the shcedueling for this vehicle but in general specialty cars lag about 1 to 2 years from their release in the states. when the marauder was released, it was 14 months from job 1 date (vehicle launch) to release in canada. im not sure why they do this but its common practice with the limited run vehichles as i assume this one will be. i can find out more information when i get back to work in 6 weeks

Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN Yeah, I’d like to know what horrible, scarring incident in your childhood turned you into such an ignorant, intellectual-hating philistine?

In the last 10 years I've owned a bunch of cars (86 LeBaron Coupe, 87 5.0 Mustang GT, 85 Mustang Convertable, 78 Porsche 924 S5, 99 Cougar V6, 01 Hyundai Elantra, 2002 focus SVT) and my 02 focus SVT has been my overall favorite.

Unfortunately they don't make my focus SVT anymore (it is now a collector item). After only 3 years of production, ~35k total production - no more. I won't replace my SVT without something at least at par (the current focus models do not do the SVT justice). IMO the focus SVT was one of the best fords ever made.

I hope they bring the 06/07 focus ST to Canada from Europe. It looks great:







"220 hp, turbocharged Duratec ST 2.5-litre, 5-cylinder engine and equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox"

"low-profile 225/40 performance tyres on sculpted 18x8-inch five-spoke cast aluminium wheels"

looks pretty good...

but i think the fusion 06 looks even better, give it a booost from the SVT team and i think it could be a winner.

IMO Ford needs to put more focus (no pun intended) on Team SVT or Team RS products.

Every ford SVT or RS owner I know has become a Ford convert (only FoMoCo products [volvo, jag, mazda, ford, lincoln]).

SVT and RS products are the type of product that builds lifetime brand loyalty. The only problem for something like SVT or RS is the el-cheapo North American market. For some reason people in NA think that they should get Ferrari F5's for under $25k.

+1

definetly, almost every model should have a special version of it, I would've been extatic if I could still buy an SHO Taurus instead of my regular flava Taurus.
