Ford To Announce Plans To Build New Fiesta In Mexico, Wear Sombreros

Ray Wert — Fri, 30 May 2008 09:20:00 EDT

¡Arriba! The Wall Street Journal is reporting this morning Ford will announce plans later today to build the U.S.-bound new Fiesta microcar somewhere in Mexico.

We happen to believe Mexico's exactly the right place for a Fiesta, don't you think? We also hear Chrysler will be building the new Dodge Maple Syrup in Canada and Toyota will be building the new Scion Amerigasm in Washington, D.C.
