When you think "diesel" powered anything, it's usually thinking of trucks. For good reason, too. Diesel powered cars have a metric trunk load of torque, and that's what pickups need. But what if we told you there was a Ford wagon out there that also had the same kind of power? Meet the European Focus ST wagon.

The fact this model is only available in Europe kind of upsets it. Called "one of the most practical performance cars on the market" by Car and Driver, we'd love to have this zippy little beast available on our shores. The real money comes from the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel, which cranks out 295 lb-ft of torque, with peak twist kicking in around 2,000 rpm. That's a pretty low figure, and gives the car a lot of jump-off-the-line fun.
