I would definitely go with the Focus. It was engineered in Europe, so it really feels much more like a Euro car than a Yank Tank. I prefer the look of the 5 door, but the SVT is only available as a 3 door, so the 170 hp would sway me into the 3 door car. I understand your need to to drive a US car with Unions all round you (I work for a Union Construction Co.)... one other US car I like is the Lincoln LS, though obviously quite different from the Focus (and much more $$$!). Doesn't matter that SAAB is owned by GM, it's a Furrin car in their eyes. The Neon isn't bad, nor is the Stratus, though not as fun to drive as the first generation cars, and not near as much fun as the Focus. I would think the reliability issues with the Focus have been sorted by now.
