More than likely the 2013 Focus ST Production car will be in this show. However, this has yet to be confirmed. I did send a email to Ford's Public Relations department head inquiring for information on the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
Also, I am sure the 2013 Fiesta ST Concept will be there for our eyes to gaze.
Thus, we are all waiting to hear the U.S specifications, pricing, and official ordering date from Ford.

From the looks like that performance blue Focus ST, its a ST3. What we know from the Frankfurt Auto Show is only a ST3 will get projector headlamps. We still don't know if a HID option will be able.

Does the GTI have a HID option? Or just Bi-Xenon projector headlamps?
