Upcoming Cars: Ford Fiesta



These are the first really nice chops of the upcoming Fiesta, prototypes of which have just started testing. It will share its chassis with the Mazda 2, but also confusingly with the next Ford Ka and, as a result, Fiat 500 and Panda according to some rumours. Mazda 2 developed on Panda's platform? Unlikely, so probably the Ka and Fiesta will get different platforms.

Either way, the chops look very promising, with a much more dynamic stance and evocative detailing than the current staid model. If it drives as well as Fiesta's always have, the new model will go straight to the top of its class.
