Mine in Tangerine Scream is on the boat on the way from Germany, but I was first to order one in Australia, so was lucky. Delivery mid Nov expected.

Mine in white was suppose to arrive mid October, but apparently didnt make it onto the boat. Dealer was receiving 4 and one was on the way, unfortunately it wasnt mine. It is now on another and due in early to mid November. Apparently it makes a difference which route it takes around the country too, it takes two weeks to circumnavigate the country and pull into all the ports.

Rang around today trying to get a test drive, New Oak and Coffey have cars coming in on Thursday/Friday. Got a test drive tomorrow night, this will hopefully be the first hot hatch that my parents have purchased since the KB laser, and that's hardly a Hot hatch.

Coffey have a white one in their showroom, saw it in their tonight (through the window; it was after closing). Its parked in there next to an new R-Spec GT.

I was there looking to scope out an ST myself. Will have to pay them a visit when they're open.

WOW! I did not know that there was the option to order ST with sunroof

Dealer said on Thursday that we have a 3 week wait for our TS ST to arrive.

Looking forward to pics of everyone's new ST when they arrive

Its because we only get one spec level ST2, with some ST3 options like Xenons. There isnt any factory fitted sunroofs in new ST's.

Damn the standard aus delivered model is an extremely well equipped package... makes ford Australia's offerings look like an absolute joke.

The 42k on road looks high when you compare to the base focus... but when you consider the fact that you're getting pretty much every noteworthy option stacked on it actually looks like pretty good value.

There is a few options we dont get, but yeah its well optioned thats for sure.
Got my first look at the outside of a new ST tonight, must say i do like it. Hate the grill, well the numberplate insert (US Grill will fix that) and the exhaust, again easy fixed. Love the interior and seats, although i knew i would. It really it a stunning looking car in my eyes.

Thanks Bara, looking forward to its arrival. Unsure how long they will have the demo, I was just advised it should be available for a run this weekend. Given the limited numbers of these things I am suprised they have demos available. All the best with the search.

Yeah, 42 plus a bit driveaway. Earlier in this post someone from Melbourne was saying he got a grand off, aligns with a 1K factory bonus other models had/have at the moment. Through the leasing company I also picked up a 1K discount so you might be lucky.

I'm not usually a black car fan, but black is my second choice after white. Pics don't do it justice it looks awesome. You will be happy.

I like it in blue, silver and white.

White with dark tint would be the best looking imo.

Silver and Red im guessing would have to be the most unpopular colours, i remember the last of the xr5 turbos we had were silver, we just couldnt sell them.

I sat in one today, the seats are no tighter then an XR5 IMO. But that interior is a bloody nice place to be.

Silver was probably one of the least popular colours in LV XR5.

Just got back from the Sydney motor show. The ST they have on display is bloody amazing! Seats were really comfortable and the interior is spot on.

How wide are the bolsters roughly? My shoulders are about 20in wide, I can't comfortably sit in most toyota seats (ba xt seat is perfect though)
