Ford just dropped its newest hot hatch on us at the 2012 LA Auto Show, in the form of the Fiesta ST. 

The small city car uses a turbocharged EcoBoost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that churns out 197 hp and 214 lb-ft of torque. Cornering in the Fiesta ST is improved with a modified front knuckle that has steering ratio of 13.6:1, while the suspesions sits 15 millimetes lower than its regular counterpart, and boasts increased roll stiffness.
