The three European cars for 2009
He has always been the dream of every connoisseur of the U.S. automaker to travel to European countries to see and manage the different variants of motor vehicles on offer.

These vehicles however strange and beautiful is generally faster, more efficient fuel efficient and less costly than most vehicles offered on U.S. soil, because of our government programs and implementing regulations. Here is a brief summary of the three leading European vehicles the 2009 model year. None of them will be sent to the United States.
Fiat 500 Abarth 2009 Edition
This pocket rocket Italy is the modified version of the award-winning Fiat 500 performance.

2009 Honda Civic Type-R
Ah, yes, the Civic that got away. Or at least the version that never came to the U.S.. Honda has been building cars change the Type-R for years and that the Integra model is in the U.S. market. For 2009, a completely different version Civic was created for fans the performance of Asia and Europe.
The three door hatchback is only available in the European market and the largest four-door version is available only in Japan. And never sold in the U.S., even if Americans buy more cars from Honda Motor Company than any other country. Lame? You bet.

2009 Ford Focus RS
Wait, the Ford Focus is available in the U.S., right?
Yes, the annoying Ford eco-box has been available are the states for some time. But this is the Focus RS, and is very dramatic in comparison with the model that we are all accustomed. You see, in Europe are the real models in the Focus WRC (World Rally Cross) and the small Ford win many races, is striking. Therefore offering the Focus RS (Rally Sport) In Europe alone, due to regulations of the rally, which specify the rally cars must be based on vehicles from the production version.

It has a turbocharged 5-cylinder 2.5-liter that produces 300 horsepower and 302 huge lb.-ft. of torque. All that power is put to the front wheels, which often creates the famous "STEER partner. This is the phenomenon when too much power is put on the front wheels and tires tend to run from the bends. But this new RS uses a "RevoKnuckle" system divides the torque between the bustle of the wheels before effectively, so that the processor speeds are not sacrificed.
The European Focus also 19-inch wheels will stroke, sticky Continental tires and large disc brakes, vented front and rear for 2009. One seat six-speed gearbox and hip-shaking Recaro racing driver should comfortably retain busy busy in the blood in the dirt streets and highways. All these features must correspond to an amazing car all around sports for any number of days of work to track the shuttle.
