Whatever you believe, there are still plenty of ST220's and indeed ST TDCi's about

there are loads more ST TDCIs around than ST220.

I can well believe top gears claim (and it was more recent than 2004, as they tested the Vectra VXR which only came out late 2005) that there are more astons than ST220s (not including ST TDCIs)

Even the ford dealers i visited for a test drive commented it wasnt a big seller.

and there under serious pressure to reduce co2

Which is why the EcoBoost is ULEV-II and PZEV compliant in order to help Ford meet the corporate fuel economy and emissions standards

And it also means they might finally get shot of the Cologne V6 from the Mustang oh joy of joys.....

Nice to see them doing a 4wd high powered car, should go alright but my god it looks grim, going to be interesting to see the real sticker price then i'll make my mind up if its actually worth having over an S4.

Not sure, but if it can please the California hippy mob then it must be pretty good. I'll see if I can dig out some figures at lunchtime.

Homo. At least it's not purple

I actually agree though. There was a 2006 ST220 at Croft yesterday and it looked fantastic. I still love my baby though

Hey, there's nothing wrong with yours, except it's the wrong colour
