You can order the US grille which doesn't have the euro shaped backing. A few guys have it instead of the euro plate. Personally I quite like the euro plate

It sure is, there was also a video to go with that pic but it didnt reveal much. Mainly a new wheel design.

Don't get me wrong it looks great, but it doesn't help existing ST owners with residual values

If you don't want your asset to depreciate, don't buy a depreciating asset.

Does seem pretty soon though

I don't have a problem with it but it is quite soon admittedly, less than 2 years. Oh well, doesn't change anything for me

You're concerned about residual values? Why did you buy a brand new car, circa 40k which 12 months down the track is in the low 30's?

Still a ripper value car and even better with a tune!

That new ST looks sweet. They turned a docile looking catfish into an angry shark.

Ford badge recess in current bonnet is the main reason it won't fit

You reset it using the brake and accelerator pedals - do a google search the instructions will be there

mine appeared at 20k (those are the intervals overseas IIRC)

- hit the power button but dont start the car (clutch out)
- press the brake and accelerator fully. you will see a reset notification appear on the HUD
- hold them down until you see confirmation that its reset

job done.

Found a rather cool easter egg within the trip computer today, if you scroll down until you are on the average L/100 screen, hit the right button toggle and will give you an ecomode breakdown on how economical you are driving (speed, anticipation etc)

Also for those with an iphone, if you are on IOS 6 or above, you can now activate text to voice and sms replying via sync now

http://support.ford.com/sync-technol...c-myford-touch

Just tested it and it works.

Yeah the reading and showing sms has worked for a while. Still haven't successfully managed to reply yet though. But the "hey Siri" thing in iOS 8 let's you get to Siri hands free atleast.
