For a partial hijack: at Mid Ohio last weekend for the Grand-Am race Ford, or someone, had this car on display: Focus ST

I really really want.

Its funny, both this and the MINI look like they were built in about a weekend. Honking big battery/charger setup taking all the storage capacity, off the shelf motor/inverter, etc...

The volvo 5 banger is now the 'duratec" 5 banger. 236lb-ft of torque at 1,600rpm in a lightish decent looking car is something I would buy. The volvo 5 banger is good for >300 hp with boltons.

Yeah, my understanding is that the C30 is basically the Focus ST but a little softer and more refined.
