Ford Fiesta 2008 AIMS

October 9, 2008 by Matt Brogan  




The new generation Ford Fiesta was this morning released after a long wait – and a raft of spy pics – boasting Ford’s latest expression of the company’s “Kinetic” design language, as seen in MA Mondeo, LV Focus and FG Falcon.

Ford’s new small car world will see Fiesta available in both three-door and five-door hatch body styles and Ford hopes sales will be boosted by the new model’s dramatic styling.

Designed and developed in Germany for sale around the world, the new Fiesta is more spacious, safer and more economical.

Ford claims average fuel consumption as low as 6.1 litres per 100 kilometres for the 1.6-litre DOHC Duratec four-cylinder with manual transmission.

Fiesta will also be offered with a new 1.4-litre four-cylinder, producing 71kW and mated exclusively to an automatic transmission.

    A very capable product for Ford AUS, lets hope they market the new fiesta properly.

  2. The Salesman says:

    Wow Ford, I knew you were low on cash but I did not know it was so bad you could only use uni student models and had to cover the car in newspaper.
    How much does this car cost with a Mazda badge?

  3. DanMan says:

    ‘Twenty fiesta century girl’ WTF.

    First time i have ever seen newspaper used for a ‘reveal’.

    The horror, the horror.

    I guess it’s about as Funny as Toyota using an Ausie Flag to hide a car designed and built in the USA by a Japanese Company………..

    As the wish it were a Mazda2, funny that the Mazda2 wishes it was a Fiesta in Europe?? Should both be excellent cars though as the Aus ones come out of the same factory an the same line.

  5. DanMan says:

    Yes about the Camry.. it’s all true. But it IS going to be Australian soon.
    Ahh The AIMS, hardly worth the Bandwith to cover.
    I think that ‘lust ford life’ girl has a lust ford calories.. worst models EVA!

    Too harsh?

  6. Stav says:

    Looks Good whens it on sale this will sell like hot cakes!

  7. Andrew M says:

    so are they going to throw the diesel donk in it for the aussie market??

  8. Kirstin says:

    For the uninformed that do not know Ford’s input into the Mazda franchise which both includes money and product ideas, people saying the new fiesta is a mazda 2 well truth is Ford owns how much of Mazda??? 33.4%. Mazda Tributes, and Ford Escapes, Ford Rangers and Mazda Bt-50’s, Ford Lasers and Mazda 323 and now Ford Fiesta and Mazda 2, these vehicles are very closely derived because one franchise has majority owning rights and dictates what it does with the other!! saves production costs with differing badges allowing people who prefer a Mazda over Ford to purchase this but in the end it is still benefiting Ford’s investment in Mazda. So before you quote “how much does a fiesta now look like a mazda” think about what company has buying right over the other?? FORD over Mazda!!! Ford saved Mazda from colapsing in the early 90’s!!
