Ford is going global with the Focus, and by global, it means really global. That's right hot-hatch lovers, we're finally getting the Ford Focus ST right here on U.S. soil. The "early preview model" of the 2012 Focus ST hatchback will be on display September 30 at the Paris auto show. It will be joined by the sedan (revealed in Detroit this year) and wagon (revealed in Geneva) that complete the three-bodystyle global Focus family. We knew it was coming, but we didn't know for sure it was coming to the U.S. Rated at 250PS, or about 247 horsepower in good old 'Merican units, the ST is the new...

Hot on the heels of yesterday’s spy shots of the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 comes new shots of the hotted-up version of the 2011 Dodge Charger, which like the Jeep, comes onto the market with a completely refreshed design. Though camouflaged, we can clearly see the new face of the Charger, which sports a bolder yet sleeker look. At the rear, a new horizontal bar tail-lamp design, similar to the one on the Dodge Challenger, is expected to feature. On hand during testing was a 556 horsepower Cadillac CTS-V, which you can surmise is the performance benchmark Chrysler is targeting for its...

From the ranks of the old Mitsubishi Eclipse, Toyota MR2, Acura Integra and even the Ford Probe and Mazda MX-6, we're down to a precious few two-doors you can buy for less than $20,000, and still have a good time at the wheel. The 2011 Scion tC wants to be in any place we talk about sports coupes and hatchbacks, so much so that Scion flew us out to San Diego this week to take our first spin behind the tC's wheel. After a day of looping around the hills...
