I'm liking it. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] It's got the SUV appeal , but its small car friendly. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

It look like a acoss between a Euro Focus, a Mountaineer, and a Escape. I'm not diggin the tail lamps on that baby though.

**The ArchAngel** · 03-06-2002, 08:46 PM

Yeah, it looks like a product of a Mercury Mountaineer and a Focus ZTW. Those headlights are dead ringers for the Mountaineer, if I recall correctly.

**NacronSE** · 03-07-2002, 01:10 PM

isn't this an extended fiesta?

**svtfocuspower** · 03-08-2002, 12:36 AM

Is that only available in Europe only?

**ZX3er** · 03-12-2002, 06:30 PM

original Fiesta looks so much better.
is Ford throwing this mini SUV to American market because our market is so obsessed with SUV's of any kind?
I would take new Fiesta (5 door hatch with TurboDesiel) over that SUV thing anyday of the week.

**kloudynite** · 03-13-2002, 01:23 AM

Looks like a CRV...which also sucks.

**2001 ZTS** · 03-13-2002, 03:13 PM

What kind of drivetrain? FWD? AWD? if AWD same as Ford Escape?

So lemme get this straight. It has a smaller footprint than a Focus, probably gets great gas mileage, and is basically a highly useful tall wagon, but it sucks because it's semi-SUV styled.

Its the kind of crap you get when you let Billy play CEO... I pray to GOD that they don't try to import that...that...thing. What the h-e-double hockey sticks were they thinking?

The Euro Fiesta is not a cute-ute platform. If anything, if they wanted an ultra-cute-ute, all they had to to do was graft a wagon hatch onto the ZX3 and maybe throw in the WRC focus AWD. Now that would make too much sense...
