Saw that orange focus in the paper yesterday, whats going on at Ford are they ever going to make anything as desirable as the Escort/Sierra Cosworths. Always wanted a Cosworth but dont really want to be paying £15k for a car thats 11years old.

Bring back the Cosworth please!!

I've heard it will be 6 wheel drive, have 800bhp but the torque steer is so bad it rips your arms out of your sockets then the steering wheel spins round dead fast and it beats you with the soggy end of your own arms. Only in 1st and 2nd, though.

I've heard that the car can be serviced by my local Subaru dealer, not at the local Ford garage, I wish!!!

After years of driving Ford, Vauxhall and Mercedees company cars and being treated like sh*t by the dealers, I don't think I would even consider another Ford.
