I just can't bring myself to get excited for it. Maybe its having owned a focus, maybe its my love of Subaru and Mitsubishi, but to me it just doesn't come with the same mystique that the Evo and STI have.
See, the lack of 'mystique' would be what would draw me to the Focus. Evo/STI to me just smack of Ed Hardy shirts and spray tan bros that actually think the Fast and Furious series are documentaries. I'm sure they're great cars, but the market that defines them just makes me want to stay away from them. Same thing with a Corvette...sure they're great cars, but I don't really want to hang with the 50-ish balding middle managers with a paunch that own the rest of them...and I think Boxster's said similar things about 911's...there's a baggage that comes with them.
