Came soo soo close to getting one, I too had several drives of both and was leaning towards the XR5T for a while as I've had Fords all of my life apart from the EVO 7. They are still a damn fine car and I'll be keeping an eye out for the FPV Focus. Few years away yet but hey, who knows what else will be out by then. Cars are in the same class and well I think it's great that you guys are showing yourselves on this forum, well done! Look fwd to meeting ya's on future cruises.
