Will this be another Scooby Basher? Or do we wait for the Astra VXR 240? Yawn.

Which "another" are you pitching this with, and which scooby are you referring to?????

The only ST220 I know of is the Mondeo

The new Ford Focus ST with 217bhp and no tricky Quaife diff ! It uses the 2.5 litre turbo 5-pot from the Volvo V50 T-5. And yes, expect the usual 'it'll hammer a std. WRX' comments to flood in both here and in the Ford community. But whether it'll **** a Mk.5 Golf diesel remains to be seen ...

Apparently it will be just shy of £16000 for the 3 dr and it's due out around November.

Focus hmm, had a run in with one of the RS variants, very nice car, none too quick though, expected a LOT more from it ... mind you I was in the FQ330

There aren't many that don't see the back, plus my previous STi would have caned it! Don't see what all the fuss is about, it's a ford FFS?
