Ford to drop SVT Focus, put entire SVT lineup on hiatus: No more SVT Focus! That is a shame because just about every review I've read of the car said it was outstanding. I really shouldn't think about the SVT too much because I want to kick myself for getting the ZX3 instead. The retail price on my ZX3 was MORE than a well-equipped SVT and the SVT is a better vehicle in almost all regards (other than noise and softness of ride). 170 HP, almost as fast as a 911 Carrera in the slalom, okay gotta stop thinking about it. If only I was more comfortable with a manual, I would have bought it back in July...


Anyway, back to the article. The ST model that is mentioned is probably similar to the UK-spec ST170: basically the same engine as the SVT (170 HP) but without the rest of the upgrades (suspension, tires, brakes, interior, transmission, etc).
