Hey Guys,
I spoke to Ford Head Office today to enquire about the possibility of the Fiesta ST being released in Australia. The "Information Officer" said that she had no information about it, but as soon as they find out about it, the dealers will know. I've spoken to my Ford dealer, I've told him that as soon as any info becomes available on a possible release for the ST, that he's to give me a call straight away so I can order one. |

No confirmation just yet. From what I believe, it will all depend on the Focus XR5T.... apparently the XR4 badge has already been trademarked by Ford.....
It would need to be very competitive price like the XR5T to be good. Undercut the Polo GTI and maybe start at $26,500RRP? That would be sweet...

My dealer is keen on an ST himself. If they do bring it in, then the rest of us should be able to get those sexy bumpers. I'm sure they still won't be cheap but they look damn good.

Well you all know where i stand!!! As soon as i hear the words " YES ITS COMING" Ill be at a dealership quicker than u can say ?????? I hope it gets priced well under the Polo Gti but ur not wrong in saying it would still be an expensive little rocket.
Im already thinking of mods for it. 110kw + 421 Manifold (extractors) + Full 2inch stainless steel exhaust with duel tips + K&N pod setup. Might see 130fwkw. Ohh i think i need to be alone.. Here is one i prepared earlier.

Cant Wait, If one of them comes out I'll be torn between 3 lovers, and wont know which car to Buy. Heart will say Golf GTi or XR5, Head will definietly say Fiesta ST with MODS!

what would be nice is the differnt coloured dash , currently we have that green/blue (im colourblind) but in the uk models you can also get a real red, a proper green and a blue, plus ST seats look great and it also get the focus manual shifter knob. I think i'll have a white one with the blue stripe kit please.
