But just like everything els they don't improve it they get rid of it and tried somthing els.
I really doubt that there will ever be another SVT Focus. I'd love to see Ford come out with any sport compact that can really compete. Ford is in bad shape financilly, there stock is in the single digits.

gotta agree with you, I feel FORD gave the SVT focus a half-hearted attempt at marketing, and showing improvements "more power" for a given model year, maybee more trim packages than just base, and Euro Package would have helped. I feel a F/I version would have helped, if nothing else, with their marketing approach. Half hearted attempt = slow sales.
