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 guess we have to see it in person but it certainly sounds about right!

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: The Cruze is a size class above. This competes - ahem - with the Aveo.

@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).
