Ford’s Focus lineup has got an ST-D. D for diesel, that is.
The Focus ST Diesel gets a 2.0 diesel making 182 horsepower and an 295 lb-ft of torque. On the European cycle, it gets 64.2 mpg and emits 114 grams per km of CO2. 60 mph comes up in 8.1 seconds, compared to 7.5 seconds for the VW Golf GTD.
The gasoline powered Focus ST gets a new start-stop system, while both cars get an updated interior with Ford’s revised SYNC system.

Cummins swap when?
The appeal of a turbo diesel is something you either get or you don't - it's obviously not for the vast majority of Americans. I often wonder though - how many people who say they don't like them based on reading benchmark numbers have actually driven one? A Miata ain't no tire-smoker either folks.
