the idea of a turbo sounds nice, but not sure about an 4 wheel drive setup.

yes, i've seen an article about that on the FF forums awhile back... the concept was that it will (the new focus) will be having an volvo turbo 5cyl. or 6cyl. AWD engine swapped.... but it wasnt intended for us folks here in the US... it was going to be built for the EURO market... i think that's wat it said in the article... i dont know any links to it, but if uall seach on the FF forums it might pop out.....

it's the new rs 300hp all wheel drive, I think it was about $50,000 but it looked amazing

well i think ford may have smartened up some . there is talk about a new redisinged focus that is sposed to show up soon. soo that could be the one!!!. oh and i was working on a 05 mustang and i pull some labor ops and found a labor code for a 2 liter 4cyl motor, witch coinsides with the talk about useage of turbos more on the new svt vehials( maybe a come back of the svo mustang) ohh happy days

that'll be nice if they brought back the turbo charged SVO mustang... hope it's an v8 twin turbo, if they were to make it....
