The Fiesta ST would definitely make my short list.

Don't quote me, but I believe the US is only getting a four door hatch model Fiesta ST. Everyone is has already or will be getting the two door option.

People can argue all day long, but in the end you can buy a Yaris LB, Versa Hatch, etc for 10k less and quite possibly build a better ride for that same 27k. Not to mention the fun that you would have not only building your "lesser" ride to that point, but quite possibly being able to smoke that Fiesta.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking too. You could go a couple grand more and get a larger Focus or sink that extra 5-10k into a tunable cheap hatch and reap the benefits. I am looking forward to seeing how this Fiesta sells. People have been begging for a hot hatch (just like a diesel pick-up) and now that the auto companies are doing it, it will be interesting to see if these same people put their money on the table. I wish the base price was under the 20k mark, it would be more palatable for what is essentially still a subcompact.
