It appears to be mostly looks. Suspension can be upgraded as well but does not have any real performance upgrades.

Id drive an svt focus, but Ive heard their quality sucks, and Ive said it before, and Ill say it again, Id love to have a four cylinder (turbo honda, focus svt, w/e) but there will ALWAYS be a v8 in my garage.

anyways.
Focus SVT? Saleen Focus? Roush Focus?
I wont want any of them. It is just another stupid little dorky car like the Neon. I dont care how fast it is, i dont care what body kits it has, i dont care if it is faster than my mustang.
IT IS STILL A STUPID LITTLE CAR AND YOU WOULD'NT CATCH ME DEAD IN IT.
Like the VW Turbo Beetles. Yeah. it has a turbo. IT IS STILL A STUPID CAR.
This is a perfect example of people opting for Performance over styling, when they could easily have both.
Focus. Bah. Stupid little circus clown car. Drive em all off a cliff.
And before anyone decides to chime in some stupid thing like "Well i got a buddy who has a focus with blah blah and it runs blah blah at the track and coule whooop your mustang" Let me just say, I DONT FREAKIN CARE, I DONT CARE IF IT IS FASTER, YOU STILL LOOK LIKE A DAMN RETARD DRIVING THE UGLY PIECE OF CRAP.
GOOD DAY.

I know for a fact everything there is to know about the svt one of my best friends has one and they are pretty quick 4 bangers...nothing that can touch a stang but not bad. The interior is very nice in them and if you get a european package you get the bad *** recaro seats. They handle like no other. The 6 speed transmission helps it but in a race the 6 gear does hardly anything not enough power or torque but they are nice cars. You can diss one if you have never driven in one or atleast road in one.

I dunno, i just hate the styling a lot of cars come out with. It is almost like the designers are a bunch of metrosexuals who want the cutest car they can.
Focus? Where are the wheels? it looks like a roller skate.
Neon? Remember seeing that cute little car zipping around on the early commercials and stopping to say "hi"?
Echo? Man, it looks like something kicked it in the *** and the butt never came down.
I like my cars low slung, i like a big engine, i like the big wheels and thick rims.
seems like all they want to make anymore are these 6foot tall cars that can barly hold a 13in rim.
Check out the first hybrids. I like the idea of hybrids, i would love to have one, but the first hybrids like the Honda Insight and the Toyota Prius? Holy crap, could they have POSSIBLY made them look stupider?
Its like the oil companys paid honda and toyota off to make the cars look so stupid that nobody would want them. I'd jusst feel like a total tool riding around in one of those.
Thank GOD the mustang has always been a slick lookin car. They never made it "cute"
I could rant about these stupid lookin cars all day. What happened to low-slung and mean? Why is everything coing out "tall and cute"? I dont want tall and cute! i want something that GROWLS and has attitude. None of these new pocket-rocket bubblegum cars comes close to that.

Saleen and Roush focus are both waste of $$. There are much better compact cars for that price.
RSX-S, SRT-4, new Civic SI, Sentra Spec V, etc. All look better, are faster, and are cheaper.
Hell I was reading a rag that tested the new saleen focus and it ran a 15.1 on the bottle. Thats pathetic for a 25K performance car.

Ok. As a designer... wait, as you call us a "metrosexual who wants the cutest car I can," I take a little offense to this statement. First, you clearly have no idea what the general public wants. It doesn't matter that YOU want a "low slung, mean" looking car. Other people want a car they can drive to work in and get 30+ mpg. They want a car that doesn't draw lots of attention and is sensible. All of which, I don't think a Mustang or Corvette can do. Don't be so closed minded. If you like your Mustang then cool. If you don't like a Focus then cool. But it is not because the designers are metrosexuals who only want tall cars that look like rollerskates. It is because they are designing for a target market. Remember, other people have graduated high school and might have needs other than looking cool in their mustang infront of the sophomore girls at the homecoming dance.
