Still have plenty of time before it will come out so it will depend on where we are at the time, if we need 1 or 2 cars, and how well the HHR has held up.

MMMM, rice with European flair

 

i think that is way sweet. may be my next car, just something about owning a ford tho. always been a gm person.

 

Awesome. About time North America got the GOOD Focus from Europe!! Found my next vehicle too.... (assuming that it is available as a manual tranny)

 

Actually, this is the version of a Ford I want...

I was thinking of a Bugatti Veyron, but can't get one as a panel or pick up..

 

Looks like it will only be offered with a six speed manual: 2012 Ford Focus ST Details

 

I could not pay $25k for a hatchback....

 

This is pretty typical thinking for Americans but with the growing popularity of CUV's people are becoming more accustomed to hatches and are willing to pay premium prices as long as they get higher quality finishes. A non-turbo'd hatch will come in much lower than $25,000. In my opinion hatch>sedan.

 

Yeah, but me personally, I'd rather have a Camaro or Mustang for the same price...

 

That's like comparing apples to oranges but after having owned a rearwheel drive sports car I can say I probably wouldn't ever buy another. At least not as long as I live in Michigan
