This is the only time I've ever seen this interior treatment. Even the Fiesta van in Europe has the screen and buttons. This was photographed in the US so that means it must be under consideration.
Now, I'm not all that attracted to the big screen in the dash but this is a rather crude way to get rid of it. I hope they dump this idea. |
I work for an online automotive news media site... let me reassure you, using wheels from existing vehicles on test mules is common practice across the industry, and definitely for Ford. It's meant to throw people off- just like the camo and the wrong radio.
The dash is NOT being changed, nor the radio replaced with a boring one. Trust me.
Also, I posted this in another thread, but I spoke with someone that has physically had his/her (protecting identity
) hands on actual Fiestas in the US with options above and beyond what Europe has.... stuff that you would dream of. Good, positive changes are coming. That's all I can say
