Ford’s current Fiesta Movement was a really great idea. It put 100 European-spec Fiestas in the hands of 100 drivers and gave them free range to say what they wanted about the car; be it online, via print or any other media outlet they chose. The car has a 60% recognition score which is big for a car on the market, yet the Fiesta won’t even be on sale until next year! Well Ford has decided to look for people to participate in the Fiesta Movement 2! This effort will focus more on the owning aspect of a Fiesta. For more details, head on over to Autoblog.

On Friday night, around 10:00 PM, I parked next to one of the 100 Fiesta Movement vehicles in the parking lot of a P. F. Chang’s in Lansing, Michigan. ”How cool!” I thought, what are the odds that I would run into of the 100 vehicles that were handed out as part of the Fiesta Movement? Then to my surprise, I ran into the owner, Fiesta Agent 22, Bryan Redeker from Grand Haven, Michigan! Another box can be checked off my list of things to do before I die. Not only was Bryan enthusiastic about meeting me, a Ford engineer, but he is totally pumped for the U. S. launch of the Fiesta!
Why wouldn’t he be? It’s one of the best looking B cars that will be available anywhere, and on top of that, it is fun to drive! For more on the car, head on over to the Ford Vehicles website.

The European Fiestas that have been running around the country as part of the Fiesta Movement are very impressive! Not only are they stylish but they are fun to drive and get rather impressive gas mileage! Well the Fiesta is finally coming to North America next year, and this appears to be the first shots of what the NA Fiesta will look like. In my opinion, it is still a very sharp looking vehicle, with very little large changes between the European model and the U.S. one. For more pictures, head on over to Autoblog.

2011 Ford Fiesta to show it’s North American face at LA Auto Show!
The LA Auto Show has been pretty big for Ford in recent years. Last years show featured the unveiling of the 2010 Mustang. This years show will be home to the release of the 2011 Ford Fiesta. Sure, you’re seen the Fiesta online a million times by now, what with the Fiesta Movement going on and all, but this will be the first time the North American version is seen by the public. It is expected to only receive minor changes due to differences in crash regulations, but that’s about it! For more details, head on over to Autoblog.
The most interesting part to me is the fact that Ford is stating that they have 50,000 people interested in the car, and 97% of those do not currently own a Ford!
