Filed under: Sedan, Performance, Videos, Mercedes-Benz, Luxury

The AMG division of Mercedes-Benz has attracted two million views on YouTube. That's as if every single person in Boston, Las Vegas, Long Beach and St. Louis stopped what they were doing and clicked the left mouse button to get a video fix on a three-pointed star and quad pipes.

To thank its fans, AMG put a C63 AMG at the top of the corkscrew at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, then drifted it all the way down. Looks like fun. All you have to do is scroll down to watch the recognition.

'Swiperboy' takes his talents to Los Angeles

It's no secret the College Basketball Nation blog has long been fascinated with Tennessee forward Renaldo Woolridge, aka "Swiperboy," a self-styled rap artiste who has made as much of an off-court impact with his musical stylings as he has on the floor as a Tennessee Volunteer. (His career even nearly landed the Vols in NCAA hot water. Heady days, those.) Alas, it turns out Woolridge will tread the path so many young, aspiring entertainment moguls have trod: This summer, he is moving to Los Angeles.

Official: Ford prices 2013 Focus ST from $24,495* [UPDATE: Configurator launches]

Filed under: Car Buying, Performance, Hatchback, Ford

UPDATE: The Focus ST has officially been added to Ford's configurator. Click here to build one yourself.

Well now, the inexpensive performance game just got considerably more interesting. Ford has officially dropped pricing on its upcoming 2013 Focus ST, and it starts at $24,495 (*including a $795 delivery charge). That kind of coin will net you a EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine good for a whopping 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, along with a torque-steer compensation system that works in conjunction with electronic power steering to keep the nose pointed in the right direction. If you're keeping track, those power metrics are slightly north of the figures Ford had previously released. A variable-ratio steering rack toes the line between sport and comfort while the sport suspension sits the chassis 10 mm closer to the ground than the stock configuration.

That fire-spitting four-cylinder breathes easy through a free-flowing exhaust, and interior options like Recaro bucket seats give the cabin a little pedigree. Of course, massive wheels and plenty of aero work are both part of the package as well. What's more, Ford says it will give early buyers a GoPro HD Hero2 Motorsports camera when they pick up the keys. Sweet.

The entry price puts the Focus ST well below fellow front-drive competitors like the Volkswagen GTI and Mazdaspeed3, but within spitting distance of playful hardware like the Toyobaru twins and the all-wheel drive Subaru WRX. Suddenly, it appears we live in a world where cheap speed is in abundance. Head over to the Ford site for a closer look and be sure to click past the jump for the full press release.
