Did you see Top Gear this evening?
If so what do you make of the new Focus ST? (Apart from the hideous colour!)

New Focus ST is a corking car.
Apparantely it's lapping the Nurburgring quicker than the Focus RS!
Abit on the heavy side though at 1350 kg +
I will pass judgement when the new Type R arrives next year because thats meant to be abit special.
If it does what the current Type R did in 2001 and kicks every other competitor into the weeds and pisses on them then i'll be happy.

Another Car to perhaps consider for myself. Wouldn't get orange though. Apparently they also do it in blue. Ralphy, when is the new type r out? Is it going to be worth waiting for then?

New Type R comes out late 2006/early 2007 It is meant to be something very special Because of Honda's believe that turbocharging is unnecessary the new Civic Type R will be a normally aspirated, variable valved timed screamer with roughly 220 bhp and very low weight compared to it's competitors. Expect 0-60 mph in low 6 seconds maybe high 5's. It will handle superb too and probally have the same amazing gearbox as the current Type R. |
