AdvanceTrac finally returns!! Now all they need is to make a hatchback with rear disc brakes and it will be as good a car as my 2002 ZX3. I paid 17,600 for my ZX3 back in 2002. A new Mazda 3 touring can be had for 20,600 equipped like my Focus was, a stripped 2.0 4 door goes for 14,600, and the 2.3 turbo goes for 23,000 and so does the C30. If Ford wanted to they could sell a second generation Focus here for the same amount. Then they would have a good looking hatchback on the new frame rather than the ugly Mazda and Volvo hatchbacks. Of course my 2002 has just as ugly a hatchback as the Mazda and Volvo. That is why I had to put a 3 piece spoiler on it to hide the ugly lines. Of course they could just stay with the lighter first generation frame. If they made a hatchback on the 2009 like the last Mustang and EXP hatchbacks, or even better like the last Capri and LN7 hatchbacks, I would buy one to replace my 2002. Another good idea is to put a hybrid drivetrain in one. Then I would buy two.
