Isn't there a limited edition, turbo'd Focus available in Europe already? Too lazy to look it up, but I seem to remember it being a 2.0L, AWD homologation model targeted at the STi/EVO crowd. As for the Masda 6, looks nice, but not my cup of tea. 
That would be the Focus RS. Unfortunately it is not AWD, but it does come with about 220-240hp (can't remember exactly what it was) and the plumped WRC-Focus like fenders. We'll never see this in the US.
The Cosworth Focus is predicted to come out in Europe in 2006, after the new 2005 model is released by Ford. A couple test mules have already been spied in Europe sporting AWD. Cosworth states it will push about 300hp and be in direct competition with the STi and EVO. This will never see the US shores either.
SVT has been cock-teasing the public with some sort of forced induction Focus for 2005. Probably be based on the new 2.3l Duratec, and probably have some sort of limp-wristed turbo huffing low boost into the motor.
Sorry to divert attention from the dead-sexy Mazda 6. I'm crossing my fingers hoping Mazdaspeed will do a better job with this than they did with the Protege.
