If you guys would actually do some reading into the Ford Focus "SVT" you will see that it is a 100% honda killer. I agree with you all when you say the Mustang is a piece but we arent talking about the Mustang here. We are talking about the Ford Focus, which the only reason Ford came out with it was to beat on Honda's. They would have to make it better inorder to do that as Ford is seeing the import scene growing every single year. You all down the "Zetec" term because it resembles "V-tec". Dont hate on it...The Zetec has been proven to be a more powerful powerband than Honda's V-tec. Infact..I think the only reason Honda changed the SI over to a hatchback model was to compete with the Focus SVT model. As you can see by the pictures that im sure you have seen...it looks just like the Focus. Whos coping who now??? Im not downing Honda in any way but I dont think you should down Ford for a car that they made and has been proven in numerous tests to beat on Honda's. The Focus SVT would have beaten up on the Honda SI 99-00 models simply because of weight and power but I believe Honda's comeback with the SI hatch will make a more reasonable weight. Even if they copied Ford on the modeling.
Just my thoughts on the mattter.
