2008 Ford Fiesta spy shots
December 20, 2007 by Alborz Fallah
Our European photographers have caught the new Fiesta out an about in the freezing cold.
Taking a great deal of inspiration from the Ford Verve concept-car that we saw at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, the production-version Fiesta is currently undergoing testing all over the world.
The 2008 Ford Fiesta is scheduled for release in Europe next year. It will come in 3 and 5-door guises and will feature a solid B-pillar.
There is no official word on an Australian release date yet, although we should expect it at the 2008 Sydney Motor Show.

That’s Cold testing. If they do heat testing in Australia like the Roewe 450 did, I hope it won’t get posted on here and get mixed up with a Falcon.lol!
This one must be a diesel or they parked it there to confuse Scoopy.
According to the photographer, they were filling it up with Diesel, so it’s definitely a diesel, would be great of we could get a smaller turbo diesel variant for AU
Ha – these shots are better than those that Ford themselves are leaking these days!!
^ agree totally.
No surprises that it’s a diesel: the Fiesta TDCi is the jewel in the Ford Fiesta crown in Europe, and has been for years. More diesel Fiestas are sold than petrols.
Ford Australia’s decision to reject the diesel version thus far is puzzling.
UK plated car in Poland. There is a 1.4litre TDCI diesel. Nice little performer in a little car, probably good for 5ltrs/100 plus.
Needs to compete with Vauxhalls latest Corsa which is the number 1 baby seller in Eurobland.
For the money and what you get [and what C/A will test when? not as long as the CX7 on hopes!]you would buy a Micra by Nissan, auto and 4 door inc. for $15k, should be selling zillions of them!
Cheers

I think Ford needs to diversify thier small car range, more engines, transmissions (which of course are mated to the various engines) and more accessories.
Cant wait for the 2008 Focus! it will have the dual-clutch 6 speed transmission…. Focus XR5? more like Focus SEXR5!
Does anybody like this swelled up car?
It is hard to see past the cladding but I think it will be a good looking car in the end.
I would love to see an XR4 turbo with the new range.
It is going to be quite a svelte little car when it’s released, don’t be fooled by the serious cammo armour that encases the car.
As mazda is a ford company i would have to imagine that is very similar to the new mazda 2, just as all the other models are. Ranger and BT-50, Escape and Tribute etc.
The new fiesta looks a shocker, i have been looking into getting a 2007 model, and i think that the current shape is much better. Hope the new Ford models are good though.
i believe this car may help me avoid driving in grass and hitting cows, this would sell for 80,000 bags of camel feed in my country
looks like a darth vader Stealth fighter !
nice one ford!
