08 Focus WRC
As the 07 Focus WRC was'nt out till nealy end of 2007, will Ford wait till nearly the end of 2008 to bring out the 08 version bearing in mind the Focus road car is getting a big face lift,
I'm sure the Ford bosses will want to see the new car on the stage as well as road dont you think?I'm a daddy now!!! 2 goorgeous little girls Megan Jessica born 24th August 2009....

If Ford is listening..... build a Cosworth you morons!
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

Dream on boys, Ford only built the Escort Cosworth becuase they needed to, to meet the Group A regulations, and they had the Sierra chassis & running gear to base it on.
The costs of re-engineering the current Focus to accept a turbo 4 cylinder and 4wd, for what will be a low selling car (in Fords terms) would be financial suicide (also remember Ford aren't doing so well at the moment).
The manufacturers were the ones who wanted the WRC regs which basically allows them to build specials with no associated production car run. But with this being the season of goodwill etc. maybe, just maybe they'll build the real deal.......I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.

Well it's going to be a "no compromise car"..... Sure they could squeeze some more power out of the car but there comes a point of diminishing returns with FWD. I would suspect they're going to build a 4wd roadcar.Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.
