I agree, Ford seem to be really headed in the right direction and I am really enjoying the products that are coming out of this ‘Kinetic Design’ brief.

Ford are building some brilliant cars now – including our own Falcon, and this will continue with the fantastic new Focus. Ford have turned the corner and are on the rise.

Brochures are at the Dealerships now, not much change just Mondeo LX style centre dash and XR5 style HMI screen. Plastics are softer and nicer, quality is up but most won’t notice by looking.

Fiesta, if you are correct in saying that you ordered in January and the car will not be delivered to August I would be checking with the dealer again. I’ve heard there is a wait, but it’s about 2 months…

Great car, selling at a rapid rate around the world. Well done Ford for yet another terrific desirable vehicle.

The Kia Soul also won a Red Dot design award.

LOL frontman. i was probably nit-picking before. Well two things can come out of that arrangement – the fit and finish of the fiesta will be right up there with the jazz and 2, (which would obviously be a good thing) or the 2 will be on par with the fiesta (which would be favoarable to the little ford). i don’t think thai manufacturing is that bad. A lot of hondas a made in thailand and the quality isn’t too bad. Its all down to quality control i say. and with fords smaller stake in mazda, i hope mazda has a bit more say over the quality control policies if both companies plan to use the same manufacturing line.

Oh well Baji, just wait till next year when the Fiesta and the 2 start rolling off the same line, in the same country as the Jazz, then you won’t have ny decisions to make
