Ford is way behind the times... The mazdaspeed 3 has to hold back torque in first and second gear electronically so you can actually put the power to the ground and not smoke your tires... not smart to base a performance car off of that... <br><br>Toyota, subaru, Nissan and Acura are all developing rear wheel drive small cars, to bring back the spirit of the old 240sx.. small car, rear wheel drive, and an engine that could be worked on... That is the reasin you can barely find a used 240 now.. it was a hit... too bad it too them a generation to start building them again..<br><br>once again FORD has spent money developing a car that won't beat the new cobalt (that is who they should be aiming at with performance small front wheel drive, if you don't beleive me it's the fastest FWD car to lap the nurburgrin.. not the baby mazda-speed) The design is on with this car.. the platform is way to dated to sell volume. 300 hp 300 ft-lbs and front wheel drive… Ford is way behind the times… The mazdaspeed 3 has to hold back torque in first and second gear electronically so you can actually put the power to the ground and not smoke your tires… not smart to base a performance car off of that…

I wonder if it will be available in traffic cone orange as well. So this is the Ford version of the Mazdaspeed 3. I wonder if it will be available in traffic cone orange as well.
