What would it take for a Escape ST or EcoSport ST to be worth it?

Let’s be honest, if Ford is debuting an all new ST model that isn’t the new Focus, it’s probably going to be an Escape or EcoSport.

If it is an Escape or EcoSport, I’d be okay with it if it was more like a Raptor version or Trailhawk. More power, better AWD system, etc. They’d probably sell really well, everyone that can’t afford or justify a Raptor

But can you imagine a Mustang ST? Mustang body, but with the FWD powertrain of the Focus ST...

They’d sell a ton.

Daily practicability and could actually be fun.

I would want a Mustang ST to be an RS Tuned 2.3EB in a GT350 body personally

Maybe the Fusion or Taurus?

Seems strange that they would even come out with the Fusion Sport just to trump it a year later. And the Taurus is far too old

Heck yeah, it’d be hard to ignore that value proposition

Been wanting to post my thoughts on this but also want to stay away from the FP. I’m thinking it’s going to be an Edge ST for 3 reasons:

1) The Edge Sport is already a thing. What’s stopping them from just calling it an ST? Us enthusiasts know that ST means something special, but with all the push for crossovers and no new Fiesta ST for NA, my money is they just rename all Sport models to ST. This would mean Explorer as well most likely, and I’d be willing to bet that would later include Escape. It’s unfortunate, because literally no one would ever take an Edge/Explorer/Escape ST to a track/autoX/rallyX literally ever.

2) The body line in the video sure looks like an Edge:

Even though that’s the SEL model of the current Edge, sure seems to line up.

3) There have been quite a few camo’d prototype running around Dearborn that look like Edges, so it’s probably about the right timing.

Sorry... due to cost-cutting, it will only have one-wheel-drive...
