Is it just me and the fact my 88 is red, or do those cars look (2 door hatch)and sound (mazda drivetrain) like a up-dated Festiva?

I never really read MT, I don't like car magazines that have writers that don't know anything about the cars they're testing, except for what the owner's manual will tell them. These people don't really know what they should be looking for in a nice little car (such as a Festiva). I think any car that can make it past 200,000miles and still run amazingly well is a great car and if Ford brings it back you better believe I'm buying one the first day I can. After being turned on to the Festiva, I can't see myself driving some other car and being happy with it. I caught the Festiva Fever and I like it."If you're not first you're last!" -Ricky Bobby
