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!!

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

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.

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?

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