I doubt my opinion counts much since there isn't a single Domestic vehicle in my driveway (Honda/Mazda/Toyota), but kudos to Ford for finally taking a note from the European styles and bringing production turbocharged vehicles stateside. It's about time one of the "Big 3" took a hint and realized that there IS a replacement for displacement that also happens to keep your fuel economy up.

One of the other engineers I work with came from Ford and from my understanding he said the plan is that Ford intends to replace almost their entire engine lineup with smaller boosted engines by 2013.

Here's to still waiting for the Focus RS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Focus_RS).

Really makes me wish I would have bought some stock when they were below $2

 

^ focus rs is just epic. but i think the feista will still be a pretty nice car, depending on the price

 

+1 I agree. It is pretty nice, even for Ford, BUT the thing is that is the killer for me, Ford. I am sure the price will make it a bit less appealing.

I drove a regular Fiesta the other day and damn Ford did good on it very smooth and had more power then my 2009 Fit Sport i had.

 

I'd trade my civic in for this thing in a heartbeat, but then again my civic isn't running atm.

It kinda reminds me of the suppositories my mom made me take when I was 5.

 

...X2

 

So i bought my truck from a Ford dealer and while drooling over the new mustangs i saw one of the fiestas and decided to check into it...didnt have one ecoboost one on the lot

I thought they were suppost to be here in the US too right? Anyway they didnt have one but i didnt think to ask if they'd order one cause was in the process of purchasing a vehicle from them already.

But anyway the normal fiesta's have a **** load of room in them i was impressed seeing as how my hatch was (almost) bigger than it lol

Oh and that RS Focus is fricken sexy as hell! They need to bring that here

 

170hp in a fwd car that weighs 2400lbs is no slouch

 

Well it looks quite decent but I still think all the new Honda models that keep getting launched every 4 years have the best looks. New Civic, CRZ all of them rock!

 

^Except for the hideous grill i saw one the other day, the grill looks better in person, but is still ridiculous.

But Mazda still has it beat lol. That and the 2012 Focus ST
