Topic: Ford Fiesta ST

[Mike]

Take that Honda CR-Z and Hyundai Velostar?

177HP Ecoboost 3 door Fiesta sounds very intriguing.  It might make it to North America if it is produced.

Don't hate on me for wanting a five door but if this came in a five door it would be a strong contender. I want a fun second car that's kid friendly. The CR-Z is already out of the question and the Veloster well it's a stretch.

Still wanting an AWD 230hp Fiesta five door that undercuts the WRX by a whole bunch of dough (like $25K out the door) and makes the Civic Si a non-starter.

What about the Focus ST?

The way I see it the Fiesta ST is for those who want a small hot hatch with 3 doors and the Focus ST is for those who also want a smallish hot hatch but with the extra two doors. Slightly different products I realize but I see Ford as trying to accommodate as many as they can without incurring too many costs with extra models all over the place.

I love the concept. But (and it's a big but), this is probably going to cost ~$23k, no? Hyundai was selling base Genesis coupes for $19,995 not to long ago. It might not be quite as practical or well-equipped, but 200 RWHP and the Genesis' looks beat 177 FWHP any day, imho...

Caliente.

I think Ford is providing a true sports hot hatch car. But I don't like the front end though.

If the Fiesta ST is offered in North America, it will be 5 door only.

"For Sale:  Rally prepped Fiesta, driven once, needs new tires, best offer..."


Canada's Worst Driver should have Ken Block and his Fiesta as guest host.

He's such a douche bag though....

Assuming the ST is sold in North America, the Veloster Turbo will be out by then anyway.
