Yes, it's had a ton of extra engineering and technology put into it to make it go faster but the market isn't as big here for it.

I could be proven wrong and it could sell like hot cakes. I just don't see many jumping on this bandwagon when you can get more performance for a couple grand more (Camaro, Mustang and tons of others on the used market).

Edit: forgot another competitor: the Mercedes CLA45 AMG. Or at least I could see it being a competitor but good luck pulling those sales lol

That is the beauty of it. It is a global car(that is already proven across the pond). Ford is taking minimal risk on bringing it here.

I totally want one to go WITH my Camaro.
