Over 140 Ford Fiestas Arrive in U.S.

I like this car a lot, I think Ford will do well with it, as long it stays faithful to the Euro spec.

Great news for American Customers... maybe they could learn with the European experience... compact, economic and eco-friendly cars; also Ford should introduce more and more "Euro-cars" from its fleet in US

Why does everyone have to be so biased to American cars or euro cars. Some people like efficient euro cars and some people like big cars. In this environment we need efficient small cars like this. Im not saying I like this car, I wouldnt buy it. But this car I imagine has better quality than the crap ford has been offering to us until reciently. When more and more people buy these small cars there will be less heat on the less efficient cars.

i will take the green one or the purple one!!

So why has the US not seen the new Mazda 2, WCOTY for 2008, the Ford Fiesta has the same Mazda platform, so why is it that Mazda North America Operations are not importing the Great little Mazda 2 as it is sold everywhere else except the US? Mazda has the capacity to now make them for the US? And FORD no longer has Mazda by the short and curlies! COME ON Mazda N America, GET with IT!

I have a 2001 Ford Focus ZX3 5 speed & this , at 116,000+ miles, has been the most trouble free car I have ever owned. I am almost 76 years old & have been driving for 50 years. I prefer the handling of European cars & bought the Focus new in 2001, because it was designed in Europe & its out the door price of $11,643 including Calif. tax & lecense. I like its handling & feel it still handles a little better than a new 2009 Focus I test drove. My biggest complaint is its fuel economy STINKS! Only 20 to 24 MPG town & 28 to 30 MPG highway. If Ford wants me to buy a new Fiesta it better offer a diesel option which I understands gets over 50 MPG! Ford, fuel economy is my highest priority! I fear we will see $5 gas & diesel in the near future & will base any new car purchase based on this. Ford, will there be a "New Ford in my Future" or will it be a VW TDI, Honda Insight, or Toyota Prius?

let me tell u all American cars loving/ bias fans...the era is over finally (long overdue). the market says it all. the weak demand for American trash shows people nowadays noticed they made trash cars for the market, 'coz the so-called big 3 know there are some American buys their cars regardless of quality/ reliability. but now is different, people woke up & realize European/ Japanese/ Korean (not distance future: Chinese made) are way better than American trash. face it, while GM struggling & keep telling the Volt will come to the market in 2010, European, Japanese, Korean & even Chinese automaker ALREADY roll out different forms of fuel efficient cars. by the time Volt hit the showroom with its $40k price tag(if GM still alive), believe me, demand will be very very low...'coz so many mature alternative out there already.

European cars rule. I cant say anything great American Built cars. what a waste no wonder the big two are in trouble. Quality is no there.

It suppose to be Diesel vevicle, good for 61mpg, but I guess in USA is not important if 41mpg gasser instead is sent...Fiesta pass Euro V stringent emissions regs...

Oh god this country is slowly being europeanized with the election of a european loved president, chrysler partnering with fiat to bring their cars here, ford bringing over all their european models to the US, high speed rail systems, whats next? techno and man purses?

the only thing thats memorable from the american car industry are muscle cars... everything else the europeans and japanese do better
