    2018 Focus ST

    So I just read that the new 2018 Focus ST is going to be a 3 cylinder ecoboost!! Why is Ford getting rid of cylinders?
    I know, I know why, but still not cool.

    And a diesel in the F150, a new 10 speed tranny, a Mustang GT500 coming soon, a new Mustang Bullitt, an all aluminum Expedition, etc. Going global really helps with cash flow and research and development !!

    I read that the Fiesta ST is going to the 3-cyl turbo, didn't realize that the Focus ST is doing that too.
    Todd, you sure it was Focus you saw, and not Fiesta?

    Mine: '13 Mustang GT Track Pk. 2.3L Whipple, 608 RWHP, 517 RWTQ.
    Hers: '08 GT500 '13-'14 2.3L TVS & injectors, 656 RWHP, 661 RWTQ.

    You know, I just read the article. You are right. I read the highlights too quick between patients yesterday.
    But still!!! Put a 5.0 in it like they did the Focus. Now that would be a Fiesta!!

    Yup, I wonder if I can buy a new Edge or Explorer there for cheap? I'll drive my Escape down and trade it in down there. I think that's a plan! Hopefully they don't get rid of the V6s for those two SUVs. That would suck!!
