No it's not. The Mini Cooper S weighs 2760lbs. The Fiesta ST, its competitor, weights 2742lbs. Both numbers are from their respective websites.

Lol.

BMW M30 I-6 was making 220HP in the 635CSI and 535CSI.

Lol so you're just butthurt that you bought a bad example.

How is my argument moot? BMW was making a 3.5L I-5 with 220HP. And they made a high performance version of that engine with 285HP.

How much did Volvo pay you for these series of articles? Maybe an exclusive with the new XC90?

How does the M3 not count then? It was a regular production car, not limited.

Lol 2 examples doesn't mean you disproved anything, they're exceptions. And the V8s were that weak back then.

And BMW was making 200HP out of an NA 2.0L 4-cylinder. Try again.

You mentioned a 36HP 2.5L, which I disproved.

WTF are you talking about, I just gave you two examples of mainstream German engines that disproved your point. They were making the same power as those V8s in that era. These aren't exceptions, Mercedes was making similar power then too. You're basing your assumptions one one VW engine, the notorious 2.slow engine,

The same motor was in the E24 M6, when it came to the US it was detuned to 256HP to meet emissions.

What? In the 80s German 2.5 litres were making 170HP in the E30 325i, hell the 318i was making 138HP back then too with a 1.8 I-4. The Germans knew how to get power out of their engines.

Velocity has literally hundreds of shows that are just that.

Except the STI has a superior AWD system. Ford is going to put in a FWD-based AWD system in this. It has nothing that stands out compared to the competition.

The touch screen hardware has changed. The Verge did a much more thorough overview and it's stated that the hardware has moved to a capacitive touch screen. The previous screen is a resistive touch screen.

nope. Different architecture in the OS and different touch screen

not likely. This is a new OS based on QNX not Microsoft. And it's using an entirely different type of touch screen.

Those cars bring something extra to the table that I don't think the Focus does. The Golf has the luxury level interior and refinement comparable to an Audi. The Subaru has the superior AWD system with actual LSDs instead of brake based e-diff on the ST. The RS if it has AWD, will still be FWD based, and it can't

I admit it is, but the Subaru has the advantage of a better AWD drivetrain, and the Golf has the Audi-like interior.
