Hard to get a good mental picture of the final product, but every little bit helps. Nothing overtly offensive visible at this point, I'm thinking there is a good chance I'll be traduing in my Mini Cooper for a new Fiesta next year.

the hatchback rear looks great!

So far, so good, looks like they haven't cheesed it out by "Americanizing" the body (chrome everything, vinyl roof, more shiny stuff on top of existing shiny stuff, requisite fake scoops, spoilers, whatever; etc.).

Hopefully, they'll leave the mechanics alone too (no mushed out suspension, dead steering, awful four-seasons tires, Hoover'esque exhaust note, etc.)

I like the grille on the hatchback. Not so much on the sedan.

I found a bunch of image of the US spec car on the Fiesta Faction forums. All credit goes to the user Powershift. I like the hatchback version of the car, though I miss the round fog lights...

The jury is still out on the sedan. In some pictures it look nice, but in others it is quite whale-like...

Oh BTW, I got the test drive a Euro-spec manual transmission Fiesta at the Orlando Auto Show. It was awesome, very easy to drive. I'm really considering trading in the Volvo for one .

Here's some links. They might go down once Ford realizes it...
