The car you are talking about is the Fiesta. It has been proven and used in Europe for years. I can not wait for it to arrive in the USA as I will be buying one for sure. The Fiesta will pass almost every gas station until it needs to be filled. I just hope that it does not have to run on premium gas like the other small cars that have came from Europe such as the Mini and the Smart car. You Americans hold on to your hats as they also did a XR2 and XR2i version in Europe.Ford backs up this style with hallmark engineering: excellent driving dynamics, a comfortable ride, and an interior that’s isolated from wind, road, and powertrain noise. And the car has been made even more responsive with the introduction of Electronic-Power Assist Steering (E-PAS). So the Fiesta now offers an unusually smooth driving experience for a vehicle its size.
But one of the biggest innovations here is the one you don’t immediately notice: the ultra-high-strength steel used to ensure absolute safety. Specialist steels like boron steel and dual-phase steel give the Fiesta a supremely robust framework, providing unusual structural integrity for a car this small, lightweight, and agile.The new Fiesta will be customized for markets in Asia, Europe, and the Americas between 2008 and 2010. It’s the first car to emerge from Ford’s Global Product Development System, as the automaker positions itself in a rapidly changing world market. These changes are nowhere more in evidence than in China, where production on the new Fiesta will begin this year at the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Nanjing.
