Do you have a Ford source for this or is it pure speculation .... specifically the 6 speed dual clutch. Ford mentioned some time ago the EcoBoost would be offered. Ford officially have said they will offer the 1.6 but have not made a decision on other engines (that was the Ford TSB sent a week ago).
They have already shown the sedan at the China motor show.
Looks stunning.
They already sell one here. USA is always so far behind.
You seem to be getting most of your info from Google (based on cutting and pasting some of your text into Google searches.) |
Wrong Candyman! The entire text of my posts are from me and only me. Absolutely nothing I've stated is copy/pasted from Google. Your accusations are completely baseless. Additionally my source of information is Sam De La Garza, Ford Focus and Fiesta Brand Manager and additional facts from the Ford news website.
The U.S. Fiesta sedan will look slightly different from the Chinese Fiesta sedan. The U.S. has differently safety regulations so the front and rear bumpers will be different from the ones you've seen on the Chinese sedan. Also the front grill will be different from the Chinese sedan as well. My squawk with the U.S. Fiesta sedan is the extraordinarily large rear overhang. "Stunning" would definitely be in the eye of the beholder.
Per Sam De La Garza there are no plans for an 1.6 Ecoboost Fiesta in the U.S. at this time. He did say that is something Ford is looking into. Mr. De La Garza stated this during a Q&A session in Anaheim, Ca recently. Check out the 2011 Fiesta U.S. website regarding the transmission. A Powershift automatic will be optional (this is a 6 speed automatic).
