America hasn’t yet fully warmed up to the idea of an expensive hatchback, not even a hot hatchback. The Civic Type R is a coupe, the Subaru WRX is a sedan, but Ford revived some of that “any color as long as it’s black mentality” and decided it knows best – ‘Merica will like a fast Ford even in FWD.
TV show host and car aficionado, Jay Leno took one look at the Focus ST and said it was a baby Mustang… or something. It’s not a Mustang, it’s European for goodness sake. Sending the power to the back would take all the practicality out of the car.
You can tell Jay isn’t impressed with the car while its sitting in the garage, but on the road he begins to gets it. The steering, the growl of the engine and the composure of the ST are competent. But don’t take our word for it, just watch the video.
