just read it and thought someone else would like to see.

Does this mean they're suspending the Ford GT as well?

It was supposed to be a 2005 model.

They are suspending the production of SVT models until 2006. SVT will be back with new designs at that point. The Ford GT is not affected by this move.

I guess Ford is still going to sell the SVT Focus as the Focus ST - like in Europe. Just a rename.

"In 2005, Ford plans to introduce the Focus ST, which stands for street tuned. It offers slightly less horsepower than the SVT Focus -- 155 compared with 170. But it will have more torque and likely cost less."

It says that they only sold 4500 Foci. That's bull because there were 4800 sold in 2002. I'm not sure how many in 2003 yet. I haven't got the report.

"Since its introduction as a 2002 model, about 4,500 units a year have been sold."

They said about 4,500 *per year* which does not disagree with your statement of 4,800 in 2002. If they sold 4,200 in 2003 it is right on the money.
