Next Ford Fiesta

1. I liked the 94 Escort I had for a few dasy in Dec of 1995…..rental, it was not bad. Drove it home, 42 miles, through a snow storm, and drove though stuff that top this day, my in-law says” I still do not know how you made it home in that!”
   It was a decent little vehicle.
   They (in europe, I think) had 3 and 5 door versions….
   I woul dnto mind if Ford would build say something the size of the Yaris Sedan, dropped a 125HP engine in it(keep weight down to what, 2,400 lbs)… make it a coupe or 3 door(or 5, also)….vs this tiny go-kart.
   Keep the looks, just make the thing larger .
   That spy photo, or whatever, you had of the 2 door car Ford’s bringing here, let’s HOPE they do somethign stylish(hoping the spy photo, or whatvever, is a decoy,lol)…..
   If they could build a sporty handling little car, 33-35MPG, 15K…(I read on the net, that the Escort could hit 0-60 in 8.2 seconds,Scion tC times!….give or take, with the 125HP engine… see the Google search for Ford Escort…if anyone wants to look it up).
   Only Ford I ever wanted to buy, to be honest( Mustang is shrap, but I dislike RWD, since I do not race on a daily basis, and live in snwo country).

2. Isn’t Ford supposed to build a new sub compact and throw the Bronco name on it? What happened to that?

   Are they going to build several sub compact models? That would be a good idea if they base them all off the same Fiesta platform.

3. would have to see that in another color

   I like this car, too, and I agree to bring it to the States now, but it’ll take Ford five years to make up its mind. As with most domestic manufacturers, too little too late.

7. This looks really good. Bring it!
