It's a Focus ST. The Escape is their small SUV.

I liked the review on Top Gear of the ST.

That's the old one too (european only car). This one is pretty sweet but the rumor is they are bringing a new Focus RS to the states, which would be the ST on steroids.

Its really amazing what they are able to do with turbocharged 4 bangers nowadays. I mean, they've been around for a couple of decades, but the reliability of tourbocharged cars has increased to the point where its worth having and doesn't add too much to the cost.

Needs to be AWD, too

That would make me

Agreed. The 2.0 pushes out 230hp and 280lb-ft to the wheels stock. So far with a tune only it's putting down 250/325. We're reasonably expecting 275-300 whp and 350-400 lb-ft with intake/downpipe/catback/tune.

The best thing, though, is the handling. This car grips and turns like its on rails. I've been really surprised by how good it is. ZDayZ is going to be fun!

That would be cool but then I worry it would be too heavy. At the very least it should get a mechanical LSD.

But AWD would make sense for an RS model. I figure it's going to cost $35k or more.

Too bad Honda will never make a fun car again.

I'm a big Honda fan but dude I hate them for canning all of their fun cars to build bland, boring rubbish. All Honda cars now are so lame.

How many sets of rims could you have sitting around for that one?
