But I'm diggin this little car.

The Focus line gets confusing because in the US after the 1st gen Ford kept rehashing the same under pinnings with progressively worse looking bodies.

But in Europe each generation was new.

The Focus currently on sale in the US is an evolution of the European model not the US model.

This was the last gen Focus RS sold in Europe, the RS500 made 350hp / 339lbs of torque from a Volvo sourced inline 5.

That thing is sexy. I think this focus is the best looking one here yet, deffers no bias based on the fact I own one.

The SHO is absolutely HUGE. Me and my wife couldn't get over how tall it is. Maybe Rich can afford one, but not this guy.

Yeah, my grandfather has a Taurus ( not an SHO ) and it's just a big car all around - pretty nice ride though. He's getting rid of it and getting an Explorer though

Just a focus. Yep, hoping there is a hint or sarcasm in there... I am regularly posting there now.

Yeh that Taurus is big, but what an improvement over the outgoing model. The whole Ford range appeals to me now, except believe it or not, the Mustang.
