Ford Fiesta vs. Yaris

[supmet]

Dude, all the info about the fiesta is so wishy washy they could say anything they want right now. I'm making a car, and I'm hoping to get 300 hp, 100 mpg, that seats 12 and weighs 1500 lbs. I'll believe it when I see it right?? My guess is that if there is a 120 hp version it will start at around 15k, not the 12k they've been advertising.

Its a copy cat move, and ford, as always, is one of the last to jump on the bandwagon. Why am I supposed to be excited? Oh ya that's right, they gave them away to a bunch of hipsters on the internet. They MUST be awesome.


Oh, and it might save ford, but it won't save the US economy. The fiesta(aptly named) will be built in mexico.

edit: and a link to the fiesta(non diesel) getting 40mpg combined would be super

The Fiesta's been in production for 30 years. I bought one of the last sold in USA imported from Germany in 1980. Put 150,000 miles on it and it was economical, a kick to drive, and very dependable. Had they been available now i certainly would have test drove prior to buying. Of course, I am very happy with my month-old Yaris and have no complaints.
