Can't say what GM does or does not have in the works, but don't assume there is a high volume of buyers that will want or be willing to pay for that car. For most customers, the 140 HP 1.4T will be just fine.
Remember, GM had a 260 HP "ecoboost" (yes, even my friend at Ford had to educate his work mates that GM beat them to the punch by years with an SIDI turbo 4 cylinder) in a car that set the class record at the 'ring. It is sadly not in production anymore due to low sales. The only knock on that car was the interior. Cobalt SS, we miss you.
And you will again see the 2.0T DI engine in the Regal soon.
And don't misunderstand me, I think the Focus will be an outstanding car. It's beautiful in many respects. I hope both do well..........just hope the Cruze does better
