The question is, what will it weigh?

247bhp isn't much fun if the weight rockets as it "evolves."

The ST and RS are silly heavy for FWD five pots. Still decent cars though.

They have dropped the superb 5 cylinder which was a unique selling point in favour of a four cylinder 2.0 turbo so then puts it in the mix with all the other hot hatches.

looks like the facelift seat leon them back windows,

think it looks crap, used to love the ST then ford started making the 1.6 kinetics etc which look like ST's, and kind of ruined the image for me
