Quick Drive: 2013 Ford Focus EcoBoost
Why are we talking about an engine that’s only sold in Europe, though? Well, because it won’t be European-only for long. Ford has stated that the 1.0-liter EcoBoost will be sold in North America (and Asia, Oceania, and Africa) in 2013. The Dearborn-based OEM hasn’t mentioned what vehicles it’ll be available in, but based on the pair of lime green metallic Focus hatchbacks sitting in front of us at the Dearborn Proving Grounds, we think we have a good idea what the first American model to get the 1.0-liter will be.

First Look: 2012 Ford Focus ST
Back in 2002, the maniacs at Ford’s Special Vehicle Team took the three-door Focus hatchback and injected some guts, creating the Ford Focus SVT. The SVT lasted until 2005 when it was killed off, in favor of the mundane ST. Now, there is a new ST for 2012.
