    The Fiesta is one car that I never thought I'd see in this country again. I can only hope that this one will be better than the original one.

      They should have called it a festiva. The festiva was a mazda 121, this is a 2-door mazda2.
      OX SMASH!!

        The Fiesta was very good car! It shared alot of engine parts with the Cortina, and could really be hot rodded.

        Ford has still not announced wether or not the US will get a 3 or 5 door along with the sedan.

          oh, and the US version will be slightly restyled from the Euro one posted. Smaller grill, less aggresive looking, etc.

            I didn't see any MPG ratings, any idea? And I do remember the Fiesta's back in the 70's. To me the green ones looked just like a frog.
            Remember "I" before "E", except as in Budweiser.

              high 30's, low 40's. Basically the same as our beloved Festivas and Aspires, but with more crash protection, quieter (supposedly), and a few more creature comforts.

                    I'm thinking the same thing. I'll definately be testdriving one when they hit.

                        I wish they would reconsider bringing the diesel motor over here. If they did, i would really consider buying one. It would still be cheaper to go diesel even though diesel is more expensive.

                          Heh-heh... if I were to buy one, I'd re-badge it FESTIVA, just to mess folks completely up!!

                            they're working on a diesel for the US market. The euro and South American engines don't meet our emissions requirements, and they can't recoupe developments costs as easily on diesels, so we get gas first for a few years.
