| New Fiesta kickin around Vancouver
FINALLY I got to see one up close, sit in it, poke around, etc etc etc. VERY nice little car. Obviously I'm biased because I'm going to be selling them, but I think you will all be impressed with how well built this small car is. Personally I'd much rather have one of these Fiestas than one of our current Focuses.
This is technically still a euro model, but apparently the only difference on the inside is that our Fiestas will get microsoft SYNC (whereas the euro ones just have a generic bluetooth link) and the front bumper will be slightly different, but still have the same look and design. Otherwise they should be pretty much identical.
We should get them within 5-6 months and the prices should be very competitive with the Fit and Yaris.    |

What is the Fiesta a competitor to within its class?
Edit: Answered my own question.

Any interior shots? Looks sweet!
As for the Focus, I'd be happy if they just import the regular Focus ST Hatch.. If they can build that thing locally with the same quality as the UK, I'm sure they'll outsell the Versa/Fit/Yaris/City Golf combined..

Focus will be built here in 2011.. right now USD is lower than Euro so they are going to build in the US and ship it back to Europe for sale.
It is never about where they build the car, but the manufacturing engineering that goes into the production design process.. and that is improving every year... eg no one complain if it is a US or Canadian Corolla. Quote:

i thought that our fiesta was getting built in mexico? just wondering because mexico already has the new focus and it's being built there? http://jalopnik.com/394197/ford-to-a...wear-sombreros
a little bit more focus here, mexican style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4z1d...layer_embedded http://www.ford.com.mx/vehicles/home...sp?idModel=FST

I only got one interior shot and it was really fuzzy.
The North American Fiestas are being built right now 1 hour north of Mexico city.
I have no idea what the timeline and production schedule is for the "new" North American Focus.
There should be a few more Fiestas kickin around within the next few weeks. There is a Squeeze Green one around as well.
If I hear anything about a showing or preview locally, I'll let ya'll know.

Race in Metrotown, being chased by a powered-by-parents FOB in a GTRRRR.
The Focus RS is a Volvo lololol (basically a tuned C30 with an S60 R engine).

when the fiesta does finally arrive here, ford should just run that top gear footage as a commercial and see all the sales rack up
