That commercial is just plain dulldust, it should really show the VXR torque steering off the road!! :the_finge
Its easy to get heaps of power out of a turbo motor, its much harder to make the chassis handle it. The mazda 3 MPS will blow the doors of it, and be a much better car all round. Maybe one day, ford might do a Focus RS, hopefully, they dont take the easy way out like GM did with this POS. :the_finge |

Then how about this
Mondeo ST 220 A 3.0-litre petrol V6 24V Duratec ST engine powers the remarkable, race-inspired Mondeo ST220. As you can imagine, its distinctive 18" 16-spoke alloys, mirror puddle lights and rear spoiler are definitely not just for show. Add to this the peace of mind offered by the Intelligent Protection System and an impressive range of features, and the ST220 delivers a performance drive without compromising any safety considerations. http://www.ford.co.uk/ie/mondeo/mdo_...0/-/-/3/670485 |

VXR = the worst understeering car made in the last 5 years. The sedan version is even worse. Refer to Top Gear test for both!
Here's the hatch, check the torque steer here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDjZE68pzEo But the KING of torque steer is here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVfF_dGyimU
