What "gun" four cylinders has Ford got at the moment? The ST170 got widely criticized for it's lack of real world power. The new Focus has to make do with the 2.0l 107kw (IIRC?) engine in a car that weighs nearly as much as my V6 ST24.
Holden's have got the Barina SRi with the Astra 1.8l fitted - the Fiesta's got nothing to compete with it. They've also had/ have the Astra SRi with the 2.2l Vectra engine and the SRi Turbo; plus the convertible is available in both turbo and N/A engines. They'll soon have the new Tigra convertible with the 1.8l as well (should have a good power to weight ratio).
Realistically Ford don't seem interested in bringing out the hot engines to Australia in the small to medium segment.
