Minnesota Focus Owners Club

So was watching Sundays episode of Top Gear http://www.finalgear.com/shows/topgear/13/4/ and they reviewed the new Focus RS, left hand drive even and then put it up against the Renault Megane R26.R which was another cool ass hatch. worth a download and a watch, unless you are lazy you'll have to wait until season 13 airs on BBC America which won't be until some time next year.

Actually the Focus ST has the 5 cylinder just like the RS but it's about 80 hp down on the RS.

hmm, never got to look at the engine in the st... damn euro lock. too bad there wasnt a way to register it in the states (it woulda had a new home really quick...lol)
the fiesta st i wasnt real impressed with the rear suspension, talk about old school k-car looking. see below
