Thanks to the folks at FordSTNation.com, we know now what the starting price of the 2013 Ford Focus ST will be. $23,700 (excluding the $795 destination charge) will get you into a 247 HP hot hatch according to a leaked spec sheet.

The pricetag undercuts the four-door GTI by a $100 and the Mazdaspeed3 by $300.

The spec sheet also reveals two equipment groups adding on an additional $2,505 and $4,840. A fully loaded ST will cost around $29,000.

This is their performance version. The Electric version is about $10k higher.

So I guess their Feista is their new Teen Eco box car then. Wonder if we will see a new sub sub eco box under the Fiesta this coming auto show season as a concept for 2015?

They already have the Ka below the Fiesta in Europe, though I've never seen any rumors about it coming to the US. The Ka is 3dr only, maybe the next gen will have a 5dr to compete w/ the Spark.

I am surprised that Ford has not choosen to do a Fiat 500 type competitor or a spark competitor for the US.

I suspect they will sooner or later. Interestingly, the current Ka is based on the Fiat 500.

Just because it hasn't been announced, doesn't mean it hasn't been decided. "One Ford" remember?

Meh...the basic focus platform seems to leave a lot to be desired. Drives well, but the A pilalrs are intrusive and the dash is just godawful in the new Focus.

I'll pass....

GTI or FR-S...or BR-Z...for me, please!

    Chevy Estimated Range for Silverado EV Work Truck Raised to 450 miles

    When Chevrolet initially took the wraps off the Silverado EV last year, GM had estimated up to a 400 mile range based on its own calculations.  As the Silverado EV has made its way through development, it went for EPA certification and came back with 50 miles more than GM's estimate.  With this new EPA certification, the Silverado EV has an over 100-mile advantage over its only on-sale competitor the F-150 Lightning Extended Range (320 miles). The Silverado EV will launch first in WT trim with t

    All New 2024 Toyota Tacoma Yearns For Adventure

    The Toyota Tacoma has been the best-selling mid-size pickup in the U.S. for nearly 20 years. Holding such an important place in the lineup, Toyota has been very conservative with updates in the past.  The outgoing generation ran for a full 7 years, but even that was based on a platform that dates all the way back to 2004.  For 2024, the Tacoma sheds the old platform entirely and joins the Tundra and Sequoia on Toyota's new TNGA-F global truck platform.  The 2024 Tacoma is the latest (and final)

    The Ford Ranger Raptor Finally Comes to the US

    After years of being forbidden fruit offered only in overseas markets, Ford has finally deemed the Ranger Raptor worthy enough to bring to the U.S. The biggest reason for the U.S. not getting the prior version was its standard diesel power and the inability of the platform to take a sizable V6 engine. When Ford redesigned the 2024 Ranger (read more about the 2024 Ford Ranger here), they made sure to alter the engine bay and chassis to accommodate a V6. Powering the Ranger Raptor is a 3.0-li
