I just read in Feb C&Driver that Colletti announced next year for any SVT is 06 Lightening in mid 05 and the Focus is dead with intent to move upmarket. This jive with anyone elses read of this?

Is this true?

Funny...its the opposite with me. Ive always wondered why they made an SVT Focus and SVT Contour. When I think SVT I think strickly hauling balls performance, no compromises. Slow family cars ruin SVTs image. Im glad they killed the SVT Focus and Contour. And Im also glad that in 06 SVT will be stepping it up with the mustang and lighting. The Lightning had better remain a single cab sports truck. I dont think SVT will be making the mistake again of using a family vehicle in their lineup.nailz said:i've always wondered why they never produced an SVT Taurus, or an SVT Explorer. I know there were Prototypes for an SVT Explorer released at the Detroit Auto Show a few years back, but it never went into production. It'd essentially be a Lightning with a back seat. I'd put money on an SVT Explorer selling like crazy.
