The GTI.
Do you think Ford will make a effort in the sport compact or hot hatch segment with the new eco-boost's?
Chevy has done it with the Cobalt SS, and it was credable track wise. It was never really cool becouse it lacked a bit of style. The old Focus hatch was pretty close, but needed a turbo to be a winner. I guess it was aimed more at the ricers or honda drivers. Although it could actually handle worse when lowered becouse of the suspension pick up points.
Who knows a turbo 2 door focus with a 2 liter motor. Fix the suspension pick-up points, and I think it could be a winner.

I love the specs, but the car doesn't do anything for me.
In all honestly the Cobalt SS looks like a Itallian super car compared to that.
They always say its whats on the inside that counts, but...
