Now if I recall correctly, the new Focus is closer to the European Spec of that model than what Ford has saddled the US with. It makes its debut amid a lot of critical praise from the automotive press. The old Focus didn't have a lot going for it so I think they will have to hype it to an extreme to get people to at least consider it as a small car alternative to the offerings from the Asian manufacturers. I haven't read about it, but I don't doubt there is an SVT version in the near future.
An aside:
I went to test drive a Fiesta. Its a sharp looking vehicle that has promise as a small commuter car. When I closed the door, my thigh and shoulder were pressed into it, no place to put my left arm. Barely had enough head room and if there was another person my size (6' 240#) sitting in the passengers seat, our shoulders would have been touching. To say it was cramped is an understatement. Didn't even bother taking it off the lot.
