Although I'd prefer a GTI 1.8T, the Focus is a nice car for the money. Thousands less than the VW, although I realize they are not quite equally comparable. I do give Ford some credit for trying to make a Golf-like car that doesn't just look like a Golf copy. Though I'm not crazy about the styling, I'm starting to see a lot of the 3-door hatches around. And Ford is rumored to be developing a higher horsepower "SVO" or similar version.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out that many (non-SAAB) folks who dislike the "quirky" Focus hatchback would also consider the 9-3 a goofy looking car.
I welcome the return of the hot hatch class. I'm sorry that SAAB has evidently given up on developing one.
