Does anyone know when the new Focus ST Petrol will be released with the auto gearbox?

It was released last November, so I ordered one...
Three days later the order was cancelled, by Ford!

Couldn't find out reasons why until I enlisted the help of 'Autocar'....
They spoke to Ford and found that it was 'withdrawn' due to homologation issues (with emissions) and may (or may not...) be back available towards the end of this year. As the Focus ST seems to be the only vehicle using that particular box, combined with the severe cut-backs on Ford's model range I wouldn't hold my breath!!

I've just taken delivery of a Seat Leon Cupra ST and am very impressed (as well as the fact mine was about £8k cheaper than the ST.....)
