      The Ford Festiva wins the trifecta of terrible naming. The Festiva was designed for Ford by Mazda and launched in 1986. But one look at this cramped compact revealed there was nothing festive about it. Ford also partnered with South Korean automaker Kia, before Kia knew how to make decent cars, and badged a version of the Festiva with the moniker Pride — another sad exercise in wishful thinking. Finally, Ford replaced the Festiva with the Aspire in 1994, which limped along for another three years before crumbling under the weight of its own meager aspirations.

          My neighbor came up to me yesterday and asked if I was
          starting a miniature car collection

          Besides...its' still better than the Daihatsu Scat
          And I'm wondering how many Ford Taunus cars
          became the Ford anus over time. There have been
          some weird names over the years though.

                I know he probly only did this to earn his pay check not realizing he was offending 12,000 people. i got to admit the name was kinda stupid sounding at first but then i found out about everyones cool names they had made with the evia.

                  looked up an old car&driver comparo of about 8 small cars. the festiva was a GL. they did a poll on a college campus asking the kids to rate the cars according to if they'd be "seen" in it or wouldn't be caught dead in it. on a 10 scale the festiva was last. not one participant would be seen dead in it. stupid college punks. they don't know crap.

                    Yet I have had multiple people try to buy mine, or stop me to talk about it.

                    I will agree and say the styling is not that great, it is simple and boring looking, and allot of guys think they are a little loose in the shorts and need a big truck or car to compensate.

                      I really like the festiva styling though. It's fun for a hot hatch

                              I don't really care for the name either. Not sure what I would have called it. Maybe just stuck with Fiesta, since that's what everybody wants to call it anyway.

                              The name doesn't make the car, though. People bagging on it because of that don't know what they're missing. Their loss.
                              Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.
