It has a factory sunroof and AC though the AC did not work, I beat the SH*T out of that car in HS and it kept going. However I do think the Fiesta name is rather a bore and silly at best. A simple rename to Verve is no more difficult than the different manual languages that will need to be printed for the various countries.

P71_CrownVic Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Except its sounds like a car for old people....but I guess you would be OK with that wouldn't you? In all seriousness, I'm no fan of Fiesta, but I doubt if it will hurt anything. I associate 'Escort' with cheap to run, cheap to fix, and as reliable as the tides...just like 'Panther'. Yeah...why would Ford want to use a name that when people hear it they think that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Just to add to the confusion, does anybody know what will become of the Ford Fusion that shares the current Fiesta platform, will this share the same one as the new Fiesta? I've heard that model is to be discontinued or at least redesigned under a different name. In other words, I believe the EU Fusion name is going away in some form.
