Ford C-Max ST

Euro model pictured

The ingredients are all there! The 2.0 Litre Turbo engine from the Focus along with its 6 speed. 252 Horses and 276 Torques in a Wagon/Hatchback Thingy. It would weight a bit more than the Focus and performance would not be exactly the same but that means it would be even more liveable as a DD. Less torque steer, a bit less bolstered recaros, and a little less harshness in the suspension to mend the main downsides people find in the Focus. Just keep the nice things like the great steering wheel, ST rims, HIDs, and the same color palette as the Focus. (Envy green wouldn't be a bad idea as well)

This would be awesome for the family man who hasn't given up on the idea of a fun car, with the added practicality of a wagon or tall hatchback.

Price it at $25k base to $30K Loaded and we got ourselves a winner.

A Ford Focus Wagon St wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Haul loud children, Haul Ass, Haul Shit.

Well, they got that covered.

And Opel did an OPC version of the Meriva, which is the same size as the C-max. Don't think they sold too many.

I knew about its existence, I just thought Ford in America would find it smarter to make the tall hatchback and not bring the wagon.

I always wanted a Transit Connect ST. HAHAH.

Yeah, I thought about it but guessed it would be easier to make the C-Max instead of bringing the wagon. I believe they wouldn't think the wagon was as profitable. Also, police.

Replied to jkm7680, I totally see what you mean. I'm actually quite surprised that you get the C-Max, it's not that American. Not sure what the extra power combined with a higher center of gravity would do though..

Am I the only one who thinks this looks infinitely better than the hatch?

The center exhaust looks a bit silly on the wagon, but the profile is just...*swoon*

I guarantee you everyone thinks this looks infinitely better than the hatch.
