Looks to much like an Evo X and the new STI... not feeling it... but I think it would sell pretty well in USA..

Not AWD... FWD

Should've have this in the States...like the Ford Mondeo....much much better than the Five Hundred POS here!

I sat in this at the UK motor show last summer. It is a beast, recent info released say's it's kicking out just over 300Bhp, 160 Mph top speed. Uses a "Revoknuckle" to stop the torque steer which is a first for Ford. Released in March 09.

I just read the brief road test by CAR magazine of the car, it's incredible how well the torque is managed by just the front wheels and how stable the thing is under power in a corner. My take of this review is that when it finally does some timed laps of the Nurburgring there will be some popping eyes on this and other car forums.

there should be an AWD version. they use this model in WRC and has put mitsu and subaru to shame. it looks pretty bad ass in general, and would probably give evo's a run for their money over here. i wouldn't be surprised if it stomped on the STI and kept up with the evo's around here
