It's time for you U.S.A guys to finally have something that we allready have...

Next-generation Ford Fiesta set to debut in Geneva

Is it a little Ford Focus

__________________

It's a small city type of car...It's been around in Europe since 1976, only few years in USA also....Should be competition for the Mazda and Honda in USA...Also, it's going to be available in the USA and in the Europe ( like old Focus )...

That is a very difficult market.

__________________

we shall see...it has small displacement engines.... 1.25 L, 1.6 L, 1.8L I don't know what type will be used in USA...consumption is from 6-10 litres per 100 kilometres...now calculate...

litres makes me confused :)

__________________

its called the ford focus hatch back

Interesting, cause ZX3 and ZX5 ( in euro version ) is also called Focus Hatchback....

Litres make you confused? ok....

Let's see..

1.25 L = 76.27 cubic inches ( around 75 bhp )
1.4 L = 85.43 cubic inches ( around 90 bhp )
1.6 L = 97.63 cubic inches ( around 105-115 hp if it has vvt-i tehnology )
1.8 L = 109.84 cubic inches ( around 120 - 130 bhp )
2.0 L = 122.04 cubic inches ( around 140 - 150 bhp )

Now, remember, this is the European Ford Fiesta, I presume, that this will be engine offer ( at least it has been by now, for Fiesta and Focus )...
The above engines are rather good except 1.4 which is a little lazy on the throttle...They are all inline 4 cyl. which is a good thing, since the consumption is not great...dependable on weight of the car....It goes around
2.64 gallons on 62.13 miles ( 10 litres per 100 kilometres...) Those are facts for 1.4 and 1.6 engines... ( calculation based on my 2001 Ford Focus 1.4 L engine )

Thanks for the info!

The Fiesta is a great little run around car, its been a mainstream Moms car in the UK for donkeys years - I don't know how well it will go in the US market

We've had those here for a long time too. The only difference is that they are called a ford focus instead of what you are calling it. Tiny little car.. Semi would flatten you like a pancake! lol Good on gas though eh?

one of my friends own this car and i found it pretty good car of its range.It can give tough competetion to honda cars.

i think it could sell well in the U.S. I think we're all going to be suprised at how many more little cars are on the road after gas gets above $4.00 a gallon. I can barely afford gas for my Focus!

yeah.... thats why it has been launched in US because looking at the price hike people could be more interested in getting a small but elegant car.

Actually from what I've read, this is smaller than the Focus and would compete with the likes of the Yaris and Aveo. It's known in other parts of the world as the Verve.

Here's a link with some sedan pics.

yeah it is exactly the same ..looking very cool like ford focus but the head lights are more attractive and resembling like a human eye.

I have heard that it is quite economical as to the fuel consumption.It though gets tough competition from Honda which again is quite fuel efficient.Which gives a better average?

of couse, after price hikes, company are manufacturing more smaller and fuel efficient cars.Fiesta may have tough competition with other such cars in coming future.
