It’s no secret that Ford is set to release its small, chic European Fiesta here in the States. Rumors, speculation and (not completely unfounded) pessimism followed Ford’s insistence that the Yankee-spec Fiesta would be offered as a sedan instead of the hatchback that our friends across the pond know and love.
Ford has since changed its mind and announced that it would release the hatchback as well, but with some changes. Pictures have surfaced on the Autoblog site that show the U.S.-spec Fiesta, partially assembled in Ford’s Mexico factory. The pictures show some changes to the front end, the fog lights get a good once-over and there’s a little extra chrome up front. All in all, the car seems to hold pretty true to its roots.
