I am sure it would be an awesome bit of gear.....but, the article doesnt mention any delivery to Australia for the ST.
If the last ST deliveries were anything to go by about 200 would make it our shores ![]()

yeh, thats my only concern. Just pricing it up against some of the other hot imported turbo cars out there and their prices.
I mean, a volvo s40 T5 (where ST parts originate), falls just short of $60k, before on roads. I would sure like to own one of these beauties, but if the price aint right, then obviously i cant afford it. Tom

It's have to be below $40K to compete with Golf GTI and RenaultSport Megane 225. I wouldn't use the Volvo T5 as a benchmark, there's much more kit in the Volvo.
Now, question is, would I want to buy another orphan hot Ford? |

Is this a FWD, RWD or AWD? Talk about a pocket rocket! Couldn't they fit another cylinder in there? Or would that stuff up the name and the XR6T market? lol
Imagine that...XR6T in a 1350kgs chassis... Still a bit of tinkering and this thing would be insane...

Yeh im not surprised about the weight, the thing is full of equipment and its a gorgeous thing, the times are good, and its supposed to handle better then the Mk1 RS.
Pricing is i think $37,000 - $39,000. |

If we use the UK prices as a guide, you will find that the new ST should not cost anywhere near 50 - 60k.
In the UK the ST170 typically retailed from £15995 pounds and for $37000 in Oz. The new ST starts from £17495, so I think it would reasonable to expect a price of between 40k and 43k when it arrives in Oz. The car looks fantastic, has a great interior, will have brilliant acceleration and even better handling than the current ST ....er hang on..even better handling? is that possible? ![]() Dunno about you, but at just over 40k, I reckon it'll be a bargain! Guess I had better start saving then.....

The ol ST170 was around $41 wasn't it, if it is around that price, it won't be to bad, around the same price for a WRX too.

Conversion rate puts the base ST at about AU$41,500 Then there is the ST2 and ST3 which have higher levels of internal trim.
Now - don't forget England have higher levels of taxation of cars than in Australia, so without taxes it could be say $35,000, then with import excise or whatever could be about $37,000. I figure it will be priced similar to the ST170 - and other cars in that market from Europe.
