Except there is nothing on there about cost, options or the Ecoboost engine.

I like the way both the Focus and the Fiesta look, it reminds me of a WRC car.

After looking at them at NAIAS I think my next car will be down to a Dart, Focus ST or a Fiesta ST.

And I'm sure there won't be for a while. They claim it will be sold sometime in June. Don't expect much more info before that. Geez- 2013 JUST started 23 days ago, and we want all the info about a 2014 MY car.

Why won't they bring the 2 door to the states? Euro market gets a choice and we don't? Same applies to the Focus.

I thought Europe was losing the choice and all theirs were going 5-door also.

But to answer the question, when it comes to making a sale, 3-door people will still buy a 5-door, 5-door people will not buy a 3-door. If you're simplifying your line-up to lower production costs, you go with the car that you can sell to more people.

That's why I think the Veloster is genius. It's a 3-door on the side you want a 3-door, and a 5-door on the side where you want a 5-door. I'm definitely waiting for these to drop a few pegs on the depreciation tree; I figure throw a set of coil-overs underneath one and it'd make a fairly fun DD.

I'd so add some.

I agree, but I've been disappointed with the reviews the mainstream magazines have been giving it. I'd like to try one myself (hope a novice brings one to an autocross) before I pronounce judgement, but all the reviews have it pegged as lackluster in the handling department.

The picture at the top of the thread is a 3 door. I'm one of the few who will NOT buy a 4/5 door anything.

Yes, and my understanding is the pictured car is going away after this year.
