I ordered an ST3, mid Jan and i still havent got a build date, looks like it will be June before i see my car.
Just dont believe how badly ford have messed this one up, the amount of cancelled orders and dealers not taking orders ive heard of is unreal, Ford have shot themselves in the foot.

p.s. Privilege is available (on ST2 and ST3) and you get around 20% off depending on spec and options.

A friend of a friend ordered an ST3 a while ago, the last he heard was that people who were promised their cars in feb/mar are now looking at jun/jul for delivery!

When he first passed his test he was pictured in a SportKa. I assumed he would only be driving something like this if he was paid to - not having a go at SportKa's, just not what most millionaire 17 year old lads would buy

Think someone's getting their wires crossed here, Ford employees don't get discount on the Focus ST, but do get discount on ST2 & ST3.
Apparently the reason being what with our discount it does'nt work out economical for us to go any lower than ST2.
That clears that up .

Even Colin McRae gave it the thumbs up... but it depends what you're looking for I suppose!

My wife bought me a copy of "Test Drive" magazine yesterday with the hot hatch shootout on the cover.
Towards the back (may be inside back cover) one of their guys rings round a few dealers asking for discount and delivery dates on a ST2.
I cant remember it exactly but one says 2 weeks (or something like that) and good discounts, the other says 3 months small discount !!
The best one was broadspeed.co.uk in the end BTW.
Worth a read for £1.50 If your in the market for an ST (which also won the shootout)

Photos for Magazine articles are taken around 3 months in advance I think, so any time after that for the article itself.
Dagenham motors uxbridge was the ford dealer who quoted "next week" for an ST3 in the article.
