nope. There are rumors that the next Focus RS may get AWD but none have it yet. The ST certainly won't be getting it anytime soon.

Sporty RS Based On 2012 Ford Focus May Get Hybrid AWD System

As far as the ST, it almost exactly matches the Mazdaspeed 3 (even has the same frame, I believe). If you've looked at what the tuners have done to that platform, it's nothing short of amazing what a few dollars can buy you in performance. I'd assume a higher volume Ford product would be even better in a year or two.
