calypsocoral Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Kinda cute, I have to say. Still, I think I'll wait for the hatchback. I need something I can load my upright bass into. And its rear end looks a little more taut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BORG Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 It's so squishy looking, meh! I don't like this type of molten design. This is still not the US spec Fiesta, ours has a different fascia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 What do you expect, it's basically a Yaris competitor so it has to look similar to attract those buyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smok Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I like the front styling. It does look little bloated in the rear quarter panel/rear pillar.... Overall, good design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickF1011 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 With the constraints to designing a well-proportioned B-car, especially in sedan form, Ford did a spot-on job. It looks small, sure, but it doesn't look awkwardly small -- a problem many other B-cars have had in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupy Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 The car will look alot better when the Robber-Barrons return oil to 150$ a-barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papilgee4evaeva Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 The car will look alot better when the Robber-Barrons return oil to 150$ a-barrel. You may be surprised... I know plenty of people who love teeny tiny cars like this. Now, you could make the argument that the car may sell better with oil that high, but given the current economic climate, it wouldn't be a completely fair comparison.

RichardJensen Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 It looks like you could put it in your pocket. And that's not necessarily because it's small. The Edge & Mustang look like you could put them in your pocket as well. I like it. Wish it was a bit more crisply tailored around the tuckus, though.

BORG Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 They do need to tighten up that rear end and do something about those lamps. I'm hoping the US spec version has better tail-lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8-X Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Front styling = A Profile styling = B Rear styling = D Overall looks good, but not too fond of the belt line raising in the rear and the rear end just looks blah. I guess for what it is, it's nice. Just not my cup of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 ugly color and the rear end does need some help so it doesnt look like its so puffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanh Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 ugly color and the rear end does need some help so it doesnt look like its so puffy horrible color for a press release....looks like car garners more points with darker hues....Candy Red looked great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydez Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Is Ford trying yo be the first automaker to eliminate the need for a front fender by replacing it with a giant headlamp assembly? There is almost no fender on that thing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping the US spec version has better tail-lights. Well, since those are shrinky-dink Mondeo taillights, maybe we will get something better.

jpd80 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I like it. Wish it was a bit more crisply tailored around the tuckus, though. Probably take Ford a couple of refreshes to get the styling just right, sort of an evolution thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danup Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Great shape but I'm increasingly blah on the kinetic surface details. Excellent looking B-sedan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_spaniard Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Still no plans for a three-door hatch for the US market, huh? I like coupes (and yeah I am in the minority-sales wise). A loaded ecoboost three door and I would trade my Civic coupe in a second. I may make it out to the LA Auto Show next Sunday. Will the Fiesta be there?

jpvbs Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 What other versions of the Fiesta will be coming to the US? If there is not going to a three door, is this all we get? It seems there have been other versions posted that were more attractive. I just went back and looked at the B-Max posted the other day and I think it looks great. This disappoints me. Maybe it is just a poor color choice. It seems like there is too much space between the rear wheel arch and the C pillar. Can someone post pictures of all the different Fiesta versions side by side for comparison? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sedan and 5-door are confirmed, 3 door is still up in the air (at least to us). I agree with you all, the front is fine, side is decent, but there's something off on the back. It sorta reminds me of an old Kia Sephia: Edited November 19, 2008 by rmc523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
