Interesting that they recommend the Focus STi - have Ford teamed up with Subaru now?

Based on the price it makes the Focus ST look like an option...I think the new vRS base price is too high...hopefully there will be healthy discounts around....but Ford will discount the Focus ST too....they have to to sell plenty.

I think the tester on 4CAR is missin the point about a Skoda...which he wouldn't if it was

its all very well saying the ST is faster..I need a boot though that will hold all my fishing gear and the gear of upto 2 other people

the ST simply wont do this..so its no good to me..same for the VXR which has a tiny boot!
