A grelha da frente não gosto, quando é que eles pensam em começar a fazer grelhas agradáveis à vista?? [8]
Espero que mudem isso rapidamente, para mim é o grande problema da Ford
Parece um grelhador! [}][}

Sou eu que vejo mal, ou as fotos de teste, com o piloto lá dentro não têm NADA A VER com as fotos por computador?[8D]
É que o de cima faz-me lembrar um Daihatsu...[)] O debaixo está louco.
EDIT: Faz-me impressão usarem a carroçaria do Mazda para aquilo...tanto mistério para quê?
citação:Ford vai uniformizar design em todo o mundo
A Ford pretende unificar a aparência de seus carros em todo o mundo. Para criar o novo estilo da marca, a empresa está desenvolvendo uma linha de estilo globalizada, que irá influenciar no design de toda a sua linha de automóveis nos próximos anos.
Os dois mais importantes chefes de design da Ford, Peter Horbury, dos Estados Unidos, e Martin Smith, da Ford européia, já estão trabalhando juntos para criar as bases para os projetos futuros.
A nova geração deverá ter traços bastante diferentes do "design cinético", adotado nos carros europeus da marca, e da grade com três barras introduzida no ano passado com o sedã Fusion.
A iniciativa deve abranger as filiais da Ford em todo o mundo, inclusive o Brasil. Os carros a marca terão carrocerias, estruturas e interiores muito semelhantes. A unificação não será imediata, mas executada à medida em que novas gerações de modelos forem substituindo a atual. A estimativa é que o processo leve cerca de sete anos.

New Ford Fiesta: the lowdown
![]()
Last week we brought you the new Mondeo ; this week, it's the new Fiesta. Ford's top-selling supermini will be replaced in a year's time and we've been snooping on the cold-weather testing in Scandinavia.
This car is an engineering mule, hidden under the body of a current Fiesta. The new model will share its mechanical package with the new Mazda 2, as well as Ford's own city car project, the Ka, and its Fiat 500 twin.

So what's new on next year's Ford Fiesta?
Ford ain't about to mess with a winning formula. Despite being in its fifth year, the current Fiesta is the Blue Oval's second-best-selling car, with more than 103,000 registered in the UK alone last year. That's 30,000 more than its nearest rival, the Vauxhall Corsa.
So expect a front-wheel drive hatchback, with only a modest size increase over today's car. There will be a range of petrol engines, each with direct-injection for cleaner emissions: a 1.3, 1.6 or 1.8-litre four-cylinder. Diesel-lovers can pick between a 1.4 and a 1.6, fruits of Ford's collaboration with Peugeot-Citroen.
Every new car that comes along these days benefits from the cascade effect of technology trickling down from loftier sectors. The new Fiesta will be no different. A full suite of airbags will be offered, along with electronic niceties such as ESP stability control, cruise control and Bluetooth connectivity for phones and iPods. The days of the stripped-out supermini are fast disappearing...

What sort of exciting Fiesta spin-offs can I expect?
Ford has enjoyed considerable success with the Focus ST, and is readying a hot version of its new supermini to appeal to enthusiasts. We hear of a 1.6 turbo developing around 170bhp, plus chassis revisions and a butch body kit for swifter go and show. It won't end there. The Fusion is set to be replaced by another high-roof mini-MPV style car, possibly rebadged B-Max in line with Ford's C- and S-Max ranges. Although never a big seller, the Fusion does in fact outsell traditional superminis such as the Seat Ibiza.
We'll see the new Fiesta, replete in its mini-Mondeo new 'Kinetic design' clothes, in early 2008, with sales starting in summer next year.
testarum carro novo sob a "carapaça" de Um antigo. GENIAL!

Confirmed for U.S.A
Behold the first photos of the 2009 Ford Fiesta, photographed while taking a break from testing on North American soil. No longer just for fuel-conscious Europeans, this next-generation Fiesta will be sold in the U.S., as confirmed by Ford officials at the previous Geneva Motor Show.
The Fiesta’s design follows Ford of Europe’s kinetic design language, and this look is expected to be sold virtually unchanged on each side of the Atlantic. According to Ford of Europe design chief Martin Smith, quoted in a Motor Trend article by Paul Horrell: “Cars with one design theme will be sold in the other market”, meaning that the demarcation between Ford’s U.S. And European design language will become more flexible, and will likely disappear altogether. Horrell reports: “The new Fiesta will look almost exactly the same in the U.S. As it will in Europe. It was signed off on before the decision was made to sell it here. Minor engineering changes, including a slightly longer nose, will be necessary to federalize the U.S. Model, but it will be ‘a kinetic-design car, absolutely,’ says Smith.” Those predictions appear accurate after viewing this prototype.
The next-generation Fiesta will be based on the Mazda2, and the silhouette of this three-door Fiesta prototype looks remarkably similar to the five-door Mazda2. But the styling similarities end there. The Fiesta’s styling is more conventionally European, with prominent wheel arches at each corner. The C-pillar kicks ups assertively, adding a little strength to the familiar hatchback shape. The current Fiesta’s Focus-inspired pillar-mounted tail-lamps will be replaced with rear lights that run along the car’s belt line.
Ford CEO Alan Mulally has been eager to leverage the Blue Oval’s global resources, and the Fiesta’s planned entry into the U.S. Market is a bold move in that direction. The appearance of a Fiesta prototype on the U.S. Testing scene confirms that the globalization plan is more than talk, and is actually coming to fruition. A 1.6- liter gasoline engine is the only engine likely to be offered on the U.S. Version, but Europe will certainly have diesel options, which could conceivably come our way if the U.S. Market becomes more diesel- friendly. Ford’s ability to turn a profit on a sub-Focus model in the U.S. Is still in question, so we would expect the Fiesta to be manufactured in Mexico, or possibly Brazil, and arrive some time in the 2008 calendar year as an ‘09 model.

O que é essa coisa disfarçada com uma capa preta e branca:sh)
Este último felizmente não tem nada a ver. É o sucessor do Ka ou Fiesta para os lados das américas.
