DOES IT SHIFT OUT OF NUETRAL?

Those oh-so-non-confrontational, take-no-sides

Swiss have apparently gone nuts over the fact that Ford took the manufacturer's title last year in World Rally Car competition. Here's proof: on sale in Switzerland is this special version of the Focus ST celebrating that fact.

How special is the Focus ST WRC? There are special side mirrors, special 19-inch BBS wheels and Pirelli P Zero Nero P235/35R19 tires, the rear hatch has carbon inlays, and there are those big decals. But the ST is otherwise unchanged and it still powered by a turbocharged five-cylinder engine making about 225bhp. And it's still too good for the US.

Those wacky Swiss - you never know what they're going to do next. First it was the holes in the cheese, then the cuckoo clocks, and now this.
