Interview with 2011 North America Ford Fiesta Design manager LA Auto Show 2009

This guy touched on a few points of contention for me. The grill on the sedan is not very attractive and car forum members the world over said they like the HB style grill. Engine options is also not congruent with what he said; we do want options of lower output for fuel efficiency but that is not going to happen because it means adding a new assembly line or modifying their existing plant to accommodate this. I'm also baffled why they don't offer a 3 door layout. Kinetc = young = 3 door!

@supercooled I agree. The one thing, the ONLY thing that is stopping me from buying a brand fucking new Fiesta right NOW is the lack of a 3-door!

It's too bad, because there are no cars out now, or coming out anytime in the near future that hit all the marks that I desire for my next new car. Fiesta has it all: great styling, value for the dollar, doesn't feel cheap inside, proven reliability, great hanling, and a manual gearbox.

Too bad, because I would have loved to own one of these!

Lets be frank; the LED "parking" lights are lame. I'd much rather have functional fog lights. It's something I can use.

I agree with him, the wider head lights have enhanced the Fiesta. Not sure if I like the look of the LED lights though. Prefer the look of the European fog lights.
