They're working with the Focus platform here.
They don't have a drop in RWD drivetrain for that. It would be a substantial engineering effort.
Releasing this vehicle for North America is already kind of a gamble and I'm not surprised they're being conservative and sticking to the existing drive-trains for that platform.
