Very nice car indeed. Your car looks like the old guy saying "you may be the new kid in town, but I'm still the king!" LOL.

Great pictures. The paint on the Fiesta looked pretty good to!

Good show (i say that a lot eh?????)

Haha, yeah my car is modified with essentially a full body kit, lowering kit, and aftermarket 17 inch wheels... and the scary part? It hardly has more of a "cool" and aggressive look to it than a BONE STOCK Fiesta! Tint the windows on that Fiesta and she would be in business...

Here's a couple more...

I had to bust out the Ultimate Quik Detailer to take care of the fingerprints from all the test drives


...and of course my better half tagged along and wanted a shot in front of her "favorite pink car."

The fiesta's are great looking. What a different looking dash. Looks like you had a lot of fun.

So you got the car???

Looks pretty cool. I love how everyone's using HID Headlamps now

Nice color too.
Your focus is still pretty sweet though.

I can't wait for the 2010 Focus

Yup I get to drive mine home on April 20th. I put my top choice for color as black, the color shown in my pics as 2nd, and silver third. I won't know what I get until then.

Thanks for the kind words about my Focus, and you are right, in 2010 when the 2011 model year Focus arrives America will be surprised again at what a nice car it is.

Guess I am too young- no clue who Charley Tuna is

It's not a "racer" either- it's an economy car. Well, to be more precise, it is a luxurious subcompact- or a premium sub compact as they say in Europe. It isn't meant to be raced or tricked out, but rather it is intended to be a no compromise option for those looking for affordable, stylish, comfortable, and safe transportation.

As for the grill, it is a European designed car with kinetic design ques. It's incredibly popular and considered the most appealing car in its class in Europe by most. I will admit, it took a little bit to grow on me, but now I like it.

I loved my big supercrew Roush F150- but I didn't love the $450 a month in gas. My focus is fun, sporty, comfortable, and affordable... and the new Fiesta will be all of that straight from the factory.

Of course it isn't for everyone, but hopefully for Ford's sake, it is for a lot of people

See a lot of these round here, must have passed half a dozen this morning. I am pretty sure that the standard lights are not (in the Uk anyway) HID, they are projector style but halogen bulb.

Nice looking cars but if the wheels are anything below 17" they look seriously under wheeled

I saw it at the Auto show... nice ride. Holding out for the diesel!

I think Ford has an awesome lineup, top to bottom this year. The re-designed Mustang is sweet. So is the Taurus... the SHO should be awesome. The F150's pretty cool... just wish they'd tone down the chrome on the tail lamp surrounds (looks too boy-racer to me).

It has some resemblance to the Peugeot 307,207 i think some Ford models use Peugeot engines.Nice vehicles.

I couldn't agree more about the chrome tail lamps. Trust me, once this project gets rolling I will sharing some thoughts with the powers to be

As for holding out for a diesel- don't. The numbers of vehicles in Europe that are diesel compared to the US are basically reciprocals. It's extremely different. Then you factor in that a HUGE portion of vehicles in Europe are small cars, but in the US the B segment cars (whats the Fiesta will be) is only 3% of the market! So once you consider that, the number of Fiestas that would be sold with diesels would be so insanely small that there would never make money on it. It's way too big of a gamble, especially in the current economy.

I would love a little diesel too, but thank your fellow Americans and their love for automatics and gassers for not getting the good stuff in Europe.
