This^Yup. Lots of clueless people out there. When I linked the R&T article to my facebook no one could believe it. It's not all HP and lap times. Theres way more to it to make a great car. And Ford nailed with the FiST.
You can always tell the kiddos that only read the performance numbers and will tell you that the Fiesta ST needs more power, it is too expensive, it isn't fast enough, it needs AWD, blah, blah, blah. None of them have actually driven the car, nor do they understand what makes a great car. It is all about the right amount of power, the right gear ratios, the right weight, the perfect brakes, the handling, the looks, and the interaction between driver and car. The Fiesta ST has all the things in the right doses. As I have been saying for months, the engineers on the Fiesta ST program nailed it!
