timmm55 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 My girlfriend's sole reason for hating Ford is the tri-bar grille. Lost customer ... and she'll buy another Honda now. (Her Accord with 180k on it just had its tranny take a dump. Sad part is, her interior honestly has less rattles than my Fusion at 33,000 miles ... ) This tribar grille is hideously stupid. My girlfriend would consider a Focus if it weren't for its ugly styling too. Ford needs to stop tacking this crappy bling on all their vehicles. I like the grille on my Fusion, but tacking chrome everywhere is not the answer to winning buyers over. It needs to be done tastefully and this tri-bar looks tacked on. It wasn't part of the original design language. You would think Ford would have learned that with the Taurus remake. I'll refrain from talking about your girl friend! But Honda has make some of the ugliest cars (the CrossTrainer??? LOL) in the past few years, they even F^cked up the Accord, only Acura is worse.

Michael Reynolds Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Why would Ford use a 3 bar grille on the Fiesta when the Focus doesn't even use one? On top of that it appears that Ford has taken the 3 bar grille a step further with the new Taurus and Fusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she just likes Hondas because she has gotten so attached to her 97 Accord ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Reynolds Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 But who knows what the next Focus might have? Even if it does have a 3 bar grille, it won't look like the ones Ford used on the previous versions of the Taurus and Fusion. Once the 2011 Edge is unveiled I think it will be telling....but I guess at that point we probably will have production Fiestas uncovered.

Blueblood Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I'll be getting pics of it tomorrow night, and seeing exactly what changes they made to the NA one in detail, I hope they didn't mess the interior up and turn the suspension to mush.

silvrsvt Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 All I have to say is the Tribar grill looks fake in those photos, like a bad photoshop. The other Grill looks fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) Yep, that's the NA Fiesta! They may be photoshopped because of the coloring or the fact they are grafting the unique NA elements onto the Europe body, but those are the official production designs. The mockups may be wrong in someways because I don't believe the US is getting the mirror-mounted side-makers (all late prototypes did without them). Not a big shocker here, we've seen the bar-less grille on the factory floor mockups, but only the three-bar grille under the camo. Looks good overall, still not a fan of Euro-Ford design but the new angular elements help to cut through it's gelatonous look. The most important discovery will be how they change the interior (the exterior is known). Edited November 29, 2009 by BORG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a joke, that your photographs could tell you how the suspension is tuned.

Pioneer Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 The grille on the hatch looks 1000X better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Jellymoulds Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) I saw the 2011 fiesta on Ford Canada's website, last night. It was only on there for a while, it was at followthefiesta.ca. When you would go to build your fiesta it would show you the hatchback and the 4 door sedan. The hatchback has a 2 bar body coloured grill , and the sedan has a small 3 bar grill just like the old fusion had. They both look very nice. They are available in a light blue, a light red , a light yellow... that orange colour is gone though. There are also a few whites, silvers and a black that isnt very black. If the website goes back up you can see for your self, they both look like great cars. Autoblog just added some Fiesta renderings Banana yellow Mmmm mini me Taurus. LINK Matt comments negative as ever, with one positive comment.
