People who compares Indian version of Fiesta to teh american one should first know it is not the same fiesta that is getting launched in India. It is certainly different to that in the US. Not always the same name means that the same car. Example, Maaturi Esteem calles as Suzuki Shift in Europre whereas We got totally different car in the name Maruthi Swift in India. similarly We have ford fusion in India whearas Ford Fusion in US is a Sedan that is replacing The Taurus in end 2005.

People who compared this with Corolla, Elantra are also wornd as this car belongs not to the D segment but to the premium C segment which is having Honda City, Baleno, GM Optra etc and not Corolla, Elantra or Skoda.

I believe that Ford is creating unnecessary hype over Fiesta to boost sales and from holding people who are planning to buy mid-size cars. Finally, this will be a flop as we can see in the picture, the car size looks too small for a premium mid-size segment. It looks as good as Fiat Petra (Sienna) and the pricing is said to be around 8 lakhs. Cant we get a better car for the same money. Anyways, wait and watch…..

Hi,

If its going to be priced like corrolla or elentra then consider it a failed car. 1.4 tdci for 10 lcas huh no one is going to purchase it.

Should’nt i get elentra instead ? ;-)

Thanks.

Ford’s Fiesta is using the engine of the current model “Fusion” which delivers a lovely 101@6500 bhp power and a torque of 143@3400 rpm. The 1.6 seems quite efficient and powerfull enough for this segment sedan. Comparing the Fiesta with the Zen/Santro is nowhere sensible where the zen is powered by 993 CC engine and the santro 1086 cc which is far below the 1600 cc of the fiesta’s. The Fiesta has a boot size of 486 Liters too which bring it up from the segment of the small sized Zen/Santro…

Originally the Fiesta is a car that is equivalent to Zen/Santro. I do not uderstand as to why they wish to launch it in competition to Corolla??? Indians travel abroad very frequently and know very well what a fiesta is. If this is going to be in competion to Corolla, it better out of the world, as the Indian customer is not ignorant of what he/she is buying now.
