What do you guys think of this?

Someone sat on the hood of the clay model and nobody noticed until too late.

I think festivas will be more clearly recognized as classics a couple years after they have been selling in the US. They will be as close to the body style of a festiva as modern crash report ratings will allow IMO (still a bit ugly)

Eh... it might raise awareness of the FIESTA, but I doubt it will have any impact on FESTIVAS...


But, I doubt it... people don't really notice either car, unless they have had one, or someone they knew had one..

Looks like a focus.

^^agreed...I don't like it

Well Fester.. that car is a FEISTA not a Festiva. I think it looks more like an Aspire / Focus combo. Maw Bad

^^ummm...the story says...on U.S. soil, 2009

looks like an update to the focus, yawn. now if it got 80mpg you would have my attention.

its funny to me they want to keep all the cars secret when they all look so much alike anymore anyway. :roll:

[festerzilla]

I know "Fiesta"... but I think this and the new crop of small economy cars will effect what people think of our "disposable" cars

[neanderpaul]

I think the legend of the festiva will remain small. Known only to those who own them. The lack of respect by the masses will be the prevailing opinion..... more for me!

i cant wait to see them on the rood. might have to take a test drive when they come out, me and my friends wear wondering why if they get about 35-40 mpg in the earl 90s now that gas is about 2.89 a gallon when they bring them back cheaper and better then a hybrid any day

theres one parked on every block in europe. theyve had a ford fiesta there for a long time. there most recent body style looks alot like a focus.

[Froggyman]

looks too much like a toyota yaris

The new Fiesta thats coming to the states is based of the new Mazda2 which is available in Japan (so it really is like the new festiva). I also heard that the Mazda2 w/ the 1.3l gets 60 mpg. This car has my attention.
