That's a very interesting blue... I really hope that's not production.

Considering the one Test Facility is around that area, there are sometimes a bunch of interesting sights there

Oh, and don't be too concerned about colours just yet. Chances are this was a test mule, so it's not necessarily indicative of what's coming down the production line.

I like the blue colour. it's calming.

That's strange... If, as the British blog states, the ST will be sold only as a 3-dr. in Europe and presumably only a 5-dr. here, why are they testing here with a European 5-dr.? (see the smooth mirrors without "spotters", the antenna at the windshield, the normal windshield wipers, and the whole front end/fog lights) As for the color--the Europeans can go for some pretty wild stuff. I do hope that some sort of fog lights make it onto the US-spec ST. Alas, it also looks like rear drums still

I would buy that color in a heartbeat. But, I doubt if a Gulf Livery model is in the cards.

Oddly it's indeed a 5 door European version.
The tell tales are the smooth round filler cap, no deeply recessed rear fog lights.

The front is a mule though: regular headlights, front foglights, and even an indent where the Ford logo used to be on the EU car.

Since it's a 5 door I have a hard time believing it's an ST build and not just a 2013 redo of the front grill.

that big ass front mount intercooler makes me doubt this statement
