I thought Frayz said these were all stories and there wasn't going to be one?

or am I thinking of someone else?

We all know Auto Express is not the most reliable publication

I mean who can "hear" a 300bhp engine I am sure a saxo with a big enough exhaust would "sound" powerfull and FFS what about the sound differences between a M3 and a Scooby

If its true it will be worth a test drive though

Last I heard, the RS Turbo version was scrapped many months/years ago.
To be honest with FMC loosing upto 40,000 emplyoies in the states, and another round of people here in the Europe, i can't see them going for this in production....
Shame really, as the negine is from Volvo and they also have a four wheel drive in the C-Class sector.....

Just another indictaion of Ford missing out...

Now i do like that

Changed my opinion on the " Fast ford hot hatches " Recently , Last weekend i had a run in / blat with a 2006 Focus ST , I Was amazed @ how well it performed & to be honest my ole bling machine struggled to keep up

Oh & to make it worse it was through the twisties as well & To rub it in even more , As we approached home ( Slowing down both of us to a 30mph limit ) The driver aknowledged me & waved his arm out the window & it was in a plaster cast !!!

Respect dude

Focus ST / RS Gets my vote & Agree with the Orange comments
