    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!!

    Nissan Versa

    @Ash78: Spot-on (although I'm the only human on the planet that doesn't have a problem with the 1-series coupe, possibly relating to being desensitized to oddly-proportioned BMW sedans at a young age when I got a 2002 at 16). The Nissan Versa is HELLA weird.

    @theeastbaykid: I think my beef with the 1-series comes from having seen the 5-door version so many times (UK 04-06) before ever seeing the US-bound coupe. Had they never offered a 5-door, I'd probably have a different opinion of it.

    @Ash78: Yeah, a five-door 135i would make a lot of current US-market hatchbacks unnecessary. That is, if BMW could figure out how to make it not cost 40 grand, which they couldn't.

    Isn't it rather stunning how much testing they do and all and the cars still suck?


    I mean really? Isn't something wrong here in the system?


    Couldn't a bunch of mere Jalops put together a bunch of parts off the shelf or out of a junkyard and come up with something for less money that would be the equivalent or better?


    Hell I've seen LeMons racers cobbled together from washing machines, motorcycles and lawnmowers that would kick this thing's ass six ways to Sunday.


    With the amount of time, effort and money you'd think they'd be able to make better products. I just don't get it. Another mystery for the ages.

    Awesome. I want one.


    I have a dilemma, though. You see, I am definitely one of those people who wish American carmakers would bring more of their Euro offerings to the US.


    But what if it sucks?


    I mean, we tend to subconsciously think, "If they sell it in Europe, it must be better!"


    But what if it isn't?


    It would kind of negate my desire for other cars. Like the Focus RS. Furthermore, it could call into question my desire for some of Ford's Aussie offerings, like the FPV F6E.


    I hope it doesn't suck.


    I hope because if it does really well then maybe Ford and GM will start building Euro- and Aussie-spec cars in the US.


    I hope.
