The reports on the SVT Focus in R&T said the car was very disappointing.

Probably engineered by Cosworth - it'll never make it here.

yeah it looks ugly, but just the fact that FORD themselves are looking at the performance of the car. this is what honda should have done a long time ago, but better late then never...

Man, Honda does this stuff, not all the time to this level, but it never gets publicity because they don't let anyone know about it. You wouldn't believe the stuff they put together at Honda R&D.
Ford's got nothing on Honda, especially in Research.

This is true. Honda's always got some serious **** cooking. Because they're one of the last independent car makers, they can keep it under wraps better than Ford, GM, DaimlerChrysler or AudiVWSEATLamborghiniBugattiBentley.
