I saw that on Autoblog. I think someone said it belongs to a Ford exec. Thing is, guys like that can drive anything they want under the guise of "evaluating" it. I remember seeing spyshots of Evo V, VIs,VIIs outside of Mitsu HQ long before the VIII came out. They might acually be working on it, or he might just be having fun with it for a year before they have to send it back and he gets something else.

It used to be fairly common to spot GM's Mitsu Evo VII running around Detroit.

That said, that Focus is sexy. The rear needs a touch of work, but overall, it's gorgeous.
