Well boys, today my coworker and I had to pick up an engineer from the Wayne assembly plant who is part of the st program. on our ride back to the complex in dearborn I got some good digging in and I have lots of news.
First. St3 HID delay answerd ? After I picked and prodded the gentleman he opened up and told me the reason for the HID delay was do to the lenses acting like a magnifying glass in the sunlight and burning the reflective coating inside the housing. He tells me that a cover over the top of the housing is being fitted to these headlights and that it should not set back production for this package by more than 2-3 weeks.
2. Production date ? I also found out that they are holding a meeting next Tuesday for final production stages and that "our" ST's will start to be built on the 30th of this month ! He said we will more than likely be driving our cars this September
3. Last but not least. We WILL be getting the outrageous focus RS in the comming years here in the US!!! Not to many details on this other than ford has every intention of bringing the brawler of the focus world to us in the future
I hope this excites some of you as it did me !
