Ford is really hoping to see the payoff here. Went through a LOT of effort with the internet to hypnotize young millenials/ young people (Fiesta Movement).
"It's trying too hard to appeal to 20-somethings."
Of course it is. That is exactly the point. Ford is going absolutely for the youth market with this one. Wants to "start over" with the young millenials.
@JulianShagworthy And the Ford Fiesta looks like a fucked up Grande Punto. The green paint makes it look like even more shit. VERY UGLY and UNRELIABLE heap of junk!!!!
were as Ford's are superior. Has anyone been to the Fiat wad site? Yeah? Those cars are ugly. look at the Fiat 500. U.G.L.Y.
Plus Fiat doesn't even make a car to compete with the Focus RS. now if Fiat had a car like that, I'd buy one. Maybe. Depends if Ford comes out with something better. like the Fiesta, turbo, direct fuel injection.
No Fords are very ugly and unreliable. The new Fiesta looks a mess. The Focus RS is an ugly pice of shit LOL. The 500 was voted Euro Car of the Year '08 simply because it's brilliant. And soon you'll be seeing them everywhere in America so get used to it. The ABARTH 500 is even better....stunning in fact...just like all Fiat's...Italian design is the best! FORD SUCKS!!
@he1971nk oh really? great so another award to add to the list....Fiat 500 has won over 40 international awards...and the Fiesta? well, fuck all...cos its shit, so F U :P
@JulianShagworthy WOW such a prestigious award!! much better than European Car of the Year 2008 amongst 40 others....get over yourself. This car is PUKE LOL
@JulianShagworthy The Worlds Most Beautiful Automobile Award and 2009 World Car Design of the Year....so the iconic Fiat 500 if far from ugly...and the Fiesta is no design icon. People who buy a Fiesta have no class and VERY BAD taste :P PMSL
Love the look. Can't wait for it to come to the states. Not too keen on the "alien dashboard" either. It's trying too hard to appeal to 20-somethings. My 58yr old mother saw this online and wants one now. She's tired of the old stodgy Volvo she drives and wants something sexy, fun, and efficient. Can't say I blame her.
how? the Grande Punto is a great car! Stylish, spacious and a good ride - especially the Abarth model. The new Fiesta is an overrated car. Its ugly, small, and the quality is not good. That is what you call AWFUL!
The fiat is a better car. Please don't believe what whatcar says. They only like Fords!! I've driven the new Fiesta and it's awful. The Punto is more spacious too...better value
er...fiats styling does not compare to fords, also since when did a fiat get car of the year 4 times in a row??? for 1 of their cars and 1 for all the others??? also fiats are just shi**y cars...ford are way better than fiat, merc and even bmw...yep...take a look at the new iosis....
Italian design/styling is far superior to Fords! The Fiat Group has won Euro Car of the Year 12 times - thats more than Ford or any other car maker, so get your facts right! The iosis is very ugly and looks like a piece of shit. Ford will never better merc or BMW or Fiat...FORDS ARE CRAP!!
i am now going to ignore you and block you by the way that is just my opinion and why do you need to argue against it??? plus ford are better than fiat...so...i rest my case, goodbye dumb scum...
Excuse me!!! You say Fiat is better than Ford... LMAO. What a retard. LOL. I'm sorry but Fiat sucks Fat hairy ass. I see the brown nose effect on your face for even thinking the Fiat is better then Ford. The old American saying i think goes like this Fix It Again Tony. That's for a reason.
FIAT is one of the best. Fiat owns Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo and Lanicia so suck that. Ford owns and makes shitty unreliable cars. The worst company in history. Everyone knows.....Fix Or Repair Daily = FORD!!! LOL and about the Chrysler takeover your just JEALOUS because Fiat is growing bigger and better!! FIAT FOREVER!!!!
Excuse me? You think Fiat is better than Ford?LMAO! I'm sorry but Fiat sucks fat hairy ass. I see you have the brown nose effect on your face. There's an old American saying Fiat (Fix It Again Tony). That's their for a reason. Get it thought you head and get the hell off of Youtube. Fiat better than Ford. HA. Not since they bought Chrysler. That will kill Fiat just wait and see.
Now you just confirmed you really are a dumb motherfuck. LOL. You really need to get a life. Oh and one last thing...FIAT IS FAR BETTER THAN FORD. FACE IT OR FUCK OFF!
Ford knows Fiat are better at making cars. The new Ford KA is based on Fiat's excellent 500 platform, so even Fiat owns a piece of Ford! Your obviously jealous of Fiat's superb design. Maybe worried they may take over crappy Ford one day??
THE NEW FIESTA BEST BY FAR!! I'm the proud owner of the New ford Fiesta. Ordered it mid Sept 08 and received it Nov 5th 08. Hot magenta is my colour (as on Advert).I had previously owned the series 6. When the New Fiesta was first released on the internet Aug 08, I knew that I had to have one. Now I have. The driving experience is fantastic for a small car. It comes with all the luxeries only found in a big exec car; but my fiesta has a lot more. Ford have finally got it right! Beautiful car.
Zetec S, black metallic, was around £12500 onr, plus interest for the credit (can't remember the exact figure). Had it for a few weeks now and I'm very happy with it.
DONT BUY A New Model Ford Fiesta! Just think of the depreciation you will suffer over 3 years losing over 50%. Fix your motoring costs and do what many Americans have been doing for years and years, LEASE it! Visit gmcleasing co uk and see the New 2009 Ford Fiesta and many hundreds of other great deals.
In fact, Ford will sell in the USA the 3-door and 5-door hatchbacks along with the 4-door sedan (which was previewed in the USA some months ago). Hopefully, by the time the new Fiesta arrives (about 18 months from now) they'll offer the "Powershift" six-speed dual-clutch transmission as an option! :-)
I would agree in the past but since Ford's "Powershift" gearbox uses Getrag's excellent dual-clutch transmission technology (British reviewers LOVED the Powershift gearbox), it avoids the performance penalty you get with a conventional automatic with its power-robbing torque converter. Ford may offer paddle shifters for the US-market Fiesta, which means you can shift gears manually at least as fast as a professional driver with a conventional manual transmission.
its still an automatic with fancy paddles, trip tonic is for people who cant drive manual but wants to pretend, and i dont care if it shift faster, i drive manual becouse i want to drive And still manuals still have advantages over trip tonic. Manuals are still better on snow, manuals are easier to get out when the car stuck, manual i can select how much torque i want to put in my wheels
or live where there is alot of traffic. I like manuals also, but if you live in city where you dont have any room to stretch this cars gears out, theres no point. and the paddle shifters or manual/automatic, where you shift between using a automatic or manual, solves this problem
obviously u havent driven in LA then. u need 2 spend 1 day in the 405 2 understand y we prefer Autos. also wen ur with 1 of ur ladys n u wanna grab those thighs or breast then the manual stick seems 2 get in the way. hehe
Obviously you haven't driven in big european city , and you are must be a sissyboy for complain about a traffic, i love to drive manuals in rush hour becouse driving automatics is really boring, i hardly use my break i only step on my break once meanwhile others step on their breaks 10 times . And we all know real man drives manual. Autos are for metrosexuals
