Maybe they'll follow it up with the Mondeo and Euro Focus....wishful thinking probably.

Ford wont sell the econetic (diesel) version here. They claim it isn't cost effective. It's decisions like this that are killing them...

Well, the econetic would have to sell at $25,000 for Ford not to lose money on it. And a Fiesta in the US will NOT sell at $25K outside of a few.

That said, Ford should have designed and planned it from the start for the US then it would have made financial sense. But the US government is the real underlining problem here.

Correct, there are several problems, all of which need to be remedied...
