As long as they don't add GIANT chrome bars that make it look like a bucktoothed tuna, hopefully we'll be OK.

Personally, I don't think they should touch it one iota. Looks great as is.

I cant imagine it will be much different or they wouldnt have botherd to put the Euro spec model on the website.

PLEASE CHANGE THE RED LIGHTS!!!!--I plan on buying one of these, but red interior lights WILL be a deal breaker for me. Been there, done that, hated them.

Red lights? What red lights, the instrument lights? What's wrong with red lights that they'd be a deal breaker (red lighting impacts night vision the least)? Your step daddy beat you with a red flashlight as a child or something? MyColor should take care of any issues the meds don't handle.

Anyhooo, seriously, the less Ford does to screw it up to meet putative "American tastes," or whatever, the better. Usually such "translations" end up gelding the chassis for a cushy ride and adding on a lot of cheesy, shiny bling that would embarrass a rapper.

American manufacturers have long ago demonstrated, but in few rare instances, their inability to comprehend, appreciate or understand small cars, much less execute them well. So the less the muss with the Fiesta, or any other finely conceived, crafted and honed Euro wares, the better -- bring them over unmolested.

I've been waiting for this car for years, it's finally just around the corner. Got to sit in the european one at the London motor show, and it was really nice. If I'm in the market for a car in a couple years, this'll probably be the one. The hatchback of course!

$16,500 for sedan?

I got my Fusion, which is two classes larger than Fiesta, for $15,500.

I would pay no more than $11,500 for hatchback and $13,000 for sedan.
