Well,
Today does it. With the launch of the ST being so badly botched, and Jost jumping ship, I have officially left the ST bandwagon.
I was genuinely excited to trade in my titanium, eat a fistful of depreciation, and drive away in an ST next Spring (yeah, I wasn't even looking to be a launch day order!) The ST just no longer appeals. Its persistent delays are disheartening, its launch/lack thereof, and Lisa's lack of ANY pertinent knowledge concisely let me know that Ford does not consider the ST a priority. To top this off, the man who has made all Ford performance vehicles great for the past 11 years (read - when they all got a hell of allot better), Jost Capito, is leaving to go to VW.
I will still hang around here, and look forward to any parts that trickle down as performance options for my Titanium, but that is as close as I will get to an ST.
