From Mexico with Love: Fiesta Sedan and Hatch
Officially Official
http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/30/f...k-for-the-u-s/ Thank you Fields, Mulally, or Farley, whoever it was that gave the Hatch the Green Light! |
I've been waiting for official pictures.
|
I will buy one if it gets 40 mpg.
|
I don't expect more than 28 mpg.
|
really?....I thought this thing was supposed to be ecoboosteriffic and 100mpg??
|
Since Focus 2.0L is able to get "only" 24 mpg city, I don't expect more than 28 mpg city with Fiesta 1.6L. I hope I'm wrong.
|
well that will be a giant let down...I hope ford doest blow it.
|
Yes! Someone at Ford has a brain! Hatchbacks are the best thing for small cars..

Great news about the hatchback.... Just too late to the market since the other car in my household is a Toyota Yaris 3-door... If Ford made it earlier this year it would have been the Fiesta in the driveway instead.

So you think a car smaller and lighter than a Focus will get worse mileage?????:screwy:
|
well...I was thinking in the way of highway mpg....if it doest get at least 37...I'm getting a mini cooper....cause it does.
|
man... that looks so sweet.
if it is around 16k and gets good mileage it will be a big time winner, and the car i get when my minima finally poops out. |

Also worth noting is that the 1.6L should receive some updates and the new Fiesta is lighter than the old model......you should easily get your 37mpg wish and, if I had to guess, I'd say odds are good the highway number will start with a 4. |

But then again, there is Chevy Aveo with 1.6L that's rated at 24/34 mpg (very low for such a small car with such a small engine) so we'll have to wait for Fiesta's numbers. But I really want Marauder. I saw one of them on the highway today and it looked so mean. It all depends on gas prices. |

I don't wanna pay more for Fiesta than I would've paid for Fit, Yaris od Versa. Ford's prices is one of the reasons why I like them so much. |
if he 3-door is more affordable, that would be great! that's the one i would go for.
i've seen some three door models cost more than their 5 door counterparts (or even hatch cost more than sedan version) |
At last, we can get an euro-spec car here without alterations! This is as good as having the Mazda 2, cuz in essence it's the same car, sans sheetmetal. Can't wait for official Mpg #'s.

Also worth mentioning is that the car pictured in the link Moosetang gives above is a Euro Spec version. The US spec version is getting a more pronounced grille and arguably looks better for it. See the NA nose here... http://www.theautochannel.com Only the front clip is going to be vastly different with the rest of the new Fiesta's exterior being identical worldwide.......tail lights excepted. Current rumors seem to be hinting at a base model 3-door starting at 13k. |
Seems from that photo you linked to that Ford has found a way to integrate the European kinetic design ethos with North America's three-bar grille...with a result that is actually quite pleasing aesthetically >>
