Saw a truck load full of Ford Fiesta's today

[aaandht]

They all had stickers for the Fiesta Movement on them (Link for Fiesta Movement ). Those cars look pretty sweet for a DD. Can't wait for the reviews to start coming in. Hell I may be lookin for one when I'm done with college.

Anyone know if the are bringing the Diesel engine over when it comes to US shores?

all young agents? i guess they want the 'young' 'festive' image.

Ford will be bringing alot of European infulence here in the next few years, keep an eye on it.. I got this from a good source... And it should all be for the better!

The European stuff has been out there for a while now. I wouldn't count on seeing a diesel anytime soon, but I wouldn't be surprised if they through the Ecoboost 4 cylinder on it. Id imagine it would have to be a performance model or detuned cause it puts down some good number. Either way it's going to get good fuel economy.

Top Gear already did a great review of this car and Clarkson loved everything about it. It should fo really well here.

Everything I've heard says there won't be a diesel anytime soon.

I would... I work for Ford and know they are pressing diesels hard in lots of applications.

[rudyyr]

Ford has really improved the looks of their smaller cars in the last few years and the Fiesta's should do well:beer:

:thumbsup: I saw on old fiesta today. Thankfully, it is nothing like the new ones.

My buddies brother has a newer Fiesta (Croatia) and loves it. The diesel goes forever on a tank and is extremely reliable.

+1 old one looks like a little squared off roller skate.

Proud of the decisions ford has made lately, go blue oval!

Mazda 2 is going to be based off the same platform as the Fiesta.

 

[JasonSnake]

Ford's been doing a number for the "NotSoBigBelow" cars too.

 

[venom one]

I wonder how the turbo version is going to perform...

dont count on a diesel. ford has already said that the US cost for a diesel fiesta would be ~$25k because of the bullshit US emissions regs. keep in mind that this is smaller than a focus, no one is anyone paying $25k for this thing.

what, ford press releases? they've already announced many euro products that will be making their way over here. there will be around 10 to 12 euro cars that will be sold in the US within the next 3 years, many of them replacing current US products but keeping their name. the kuga will be the base for the new escape, we're getting the genIII focus, the mondeo and fusion platforms will be merged, the transit connect will be out by this summer i believe, and of course we're getting the fiesta(also released this summer i believe).

word is that mulally is pushing to get the ka over here too, those things are just cool!
