Default New Fiesta ST (XR4) shelved

If you were waiting for the new XR4 you might just have to wait a little longer.

It should keep the used values up a little on the Current XR4.

2012..bloody hell thats a fair wait.

I can understand them not doing it now, there is already alot of interest in the car so you would wait until that dies down....but ~3 years!

And I was looking forward to prices falling on the current one.

Next car might just have to be a Fiat 500 Abarth SS then. Or maybe I'll dream of an Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA...
