    Ben: do you know if the front seat folds down forward, to carry long(ish) loads?

    I hate the new nose. Also, how does one retune a suspension to retain zippiness with all season tires?

    I miss the projector beam/xenons from the euro version, but otherwise this is full of win. Ford, you're doing awesome, please, please don't blow it on the Focus. If this is any indication though, the Cruze already looks tired.

    That's a good looking econobox.

    @hermitizer: I'm with you...Fiesta is better than Cruze for me, mostly because the 5-door Fiesta looks so good.

    @SRekauqh: Doesn't slot somewhere in between? Isn't the new Focus larger than the Cruze? Doesn't matter I guess...Fiesta beats Aveo and Focus beats Cruze. You lose Chevy...well actually I guess the American taxpayer loses.

    You guys are going to love the Fiesta. One of the girls here has one, a Zetec S, top-line model, and that thing just grips and goes.

    Ford are actually making cars which are too good for their market position. Really excellent, but often overlooked because of the badge, people would rather have the "prestige" of a VW or Mini.

    Their loss....

    The grille insert on the hatchback makes it look somewhat "Third World," like it's a generation behind but rehashed for buyers upgrading from a Chinese scooter.

    And the grille on the sedan is downright insulting. Where's "Dave" so I can dropkick him in the teeth?

    Besides these niggles, however, I'm glad not much else has been lost in translation and I hope as many people buy this as humanly possible. You hear me, fellow enthusiasts? It is your God-given duty to buy one after how much you've been begging Ford to bring it here. Well, they held up their end of the bargain; now it's time to hold up yours. It's the only way to ensure more Euro cars come here (and someday...the Falcon).

    A Yuper Fiesta? The Reconquista must be a lot further along than I thought. This looks like a pretty nicely sorted piece, even with the cladding. I think the massive Jalopnick embossing on the hood will really drive up sales. Gotta be one of those Shelby-Jalopnick special editions: probably pulls to the right, has about half the horsepower, one winking tail light, differential whine, jammed washer jets, a radio that only gets Mexican accordian music, and a collapsed shock from jumping over that speed bump in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot..

    I'm concerned. This econo-sedan is as appealing as this morning's burrito fueled Fiesta Movement. I'm hoping Ford does the Green fans a favor by bringing over the green Fiesta featured the other day.

    I hate the proportions of the Fiesta sedan. The trunk looks hastily tacked-on, whereas the hatch is quite handsome.

    @Syrax: They're due to release a facelifted vcersion shortly and I'm due to change my car. The downer is my employers are treehuggers so I'm nobbled by CO2 emissions. The best I can do is the FR version: you can buy the body kit as an option but what's the point when it only kicks out 170bhp?

    @Foozy Ploosh Room: LOL. They offer a lease deal that's really good and after making a small monthly payment to them all I pay for is fuel for my personal use. I get to choose whatever car I like but there's a CO2 limit on emissions - it's all to do with taxes, polar bears, trees and hippies. I could buy whatever I like but the deal's a good one that provides loads of hassle free motoring. Damn cheap rental!!
