APPARENTLY, they are going to use the same 2.5 engine in the focus st but tune it a lot.
don't take my word for it but that's what i've been told.

Why not release details of engine and transmission 
Maybe it's not completely confirmed regarding the exact details yet of engine and transmission?

Why do a press release then, surely they will know if it's 4wd or not now?
If they don't know that then they have got someothing wrong very early.
