    Color me green with envy. I'm locked into my Focus via wife handcuffs, but if the ST combines great performance with the current Focus quality you will have one hell of a car. The blue color would have been my first choice as well, but I was really hoping they'd come out with the neon green.

    Make sure you get some pics when you get your hands on it!

    Wait, a possible 6 month wait on a Focus? What did I miss?

    Don't get me wrong, always loved hatchbacks and the new Foci are nice, but 6 mo. wait on an economy car nice? Don't know about that.
    A list of mods, all cars ever owned and something cribbed from a book, song and/or movie were all just here. Sorry you missed out on my unique, snowflake-like individuality.

    This was going to be my new daily, but after the issues with Ford when I had my BOSS, I'll keep giving VW my money. I'm holding out for a MK7 GTI. Great color!

    I tried to order an ingot silver base, but my dealer wanted a $1000 nonrefundable deposit. I'll have to drive it first.

    No, the BOSS was a weekend car. I sold it when Ford wouldn't replace my 3rd transmission.. Service was pretty bad. And I didn't even beat on the car. I drive my 98 Jetta daily, and I've been looking for a newer daily anywho ever since I bought my wife a 2012 GTI. I bought the BOSS out of, well, I wanted one.
